Hi all,

I´m trying do colmpile the kernel 2.4.29 to suport rsvp-te with the followin
software and patches

KERNEL_2.4.19_MPLS160.patch,

	DSMPLS+IP.patch
        iproute2-current.tar.gz and rsvpd.0.70-rcx.tgz.

User mpls-linux kernel patch 1.170.  1.160 had a bug when trying to
compile with netfilter MPLS target (BTW the instructions on the RSVP-TE page
said NOT to turn on the MPLS target .... reading the instructions helps ....)

Hi Ezequiel

I'm new on this list as well but I don't think anyone will be able to
help you with the limited info that you have provided.
When you say you have a kernel configured for your hardware, did you:

A) Download the kernel from http://www.kernel.org/ ? In that case you
need to tell us which version you're using.
B) Get the kernel from git a git tree http://git.kernel.org/? We still
need to know exactly which version
C) Recompile your debian kernel? (2.6.32?)

If this bug is present with only a change in kernel config, it would
be interesting to see the difference between the working and broken
config.

I hope that helps,
Pico

  you are clearly using ubuntu, so here's a simpler recipe i've used
successfully.

  1) configure and build your kernel from the source
  2) "sudo make modules_install"
  3) "sudo make install"
  4) "sudo update-initramfs -c -k <kernel version goes here>"
  5) "sudo update-grub"

the drawback to the above is that your kernel is not built as an
official *package* but for testing purposes, it should do.  you'll get
your kernel installed under /boot, your modules installed, a new
initramfs image, and your grub file updated.  can you try it this way
and see if it makes a difference?

The patch was matched and was successful. It compiled with no errors. 
Just the 'no init' at boot.
I'll post my .config later today as it's late here and have to work. I'm 
beginning to think it may have something to do with the limits on file 
size as I got a few warnings about out-of-range sizes. I have it set to 
1024.

Thanks for your reply,

My first question is: did the patching go successfully? were you
applying the correct grsec version against a matching vanilla kernel
version?

And last, maybe you can attach your kernel .config content...and one
of fine people here will try to decipher what's wrong with it :)

[scott]

I'm new to the list and would like to say hello to everyone. Now on to 
the meat.

I have tried to compile a kernel with a grsec patch 5 times now using a
couple of different methods and I keep getting a "No init found" and
"Couldn't support optional features" errors every time at bootup.
I'm trying to use a vanilla 2.6.32.27 kernel on 10.04 Ubuntu and it 
compiles fine,
just will not boot.

I've tried "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` fakeroot make-kpkg
--initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers",
"CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-586
kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image".

I have all the reqs for building kernels such as build-essentials, fakeroot,
kernel-package, kernel-wedge, nurces-dev and qt for xconfig.

These are the steps I've taken. DL the kernel image from kernels.org, get
the patch from grsec.net, untar the kernel, cd into the directory created,
do a 'cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config', 'make oldconfig', apply the
patch, then either 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig'. Then I do a
'make-kpkg clean' and run one of the commands in the first paragraph above.

I get the debs built and can install them just fine, but I keep getting the
same errors. I've cut out as many "Experimental" options I thought might
cause a problem and still get a kernel panic at boot.

Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?
Scott

am getting this error please reply me what it means and i am very new to
this linux field can any body help

Re: kernel compilation

[andrew mathes]

ok, at this point i've tried -

2.6.11 and 2.6.10

... patched with arch-xen.patch and drivers-xen.patch, 
and also tried with just copying the linux-2.6.11-xen-sparse folder to the 
kernel directory

then make menuconfig ARCH=xen (seems fine, brings up xen options)
then make ARCH=xen ... always has errors.

the two places it seems to error are "rmap.h" and "skbuff.c" depending how 
I patch the kernels/which i use ...

am I still going about this wrong? is there somewhere to get the "latest" 
arch-xen.patch/drivers-xen.patch?

thanks again for any help

Re: kernel compilation

[andrew mathes]

to use a more up to date repository ...

where would i find more updated patches for the kernel? I only saw the two 
from the download site ... are they in the xen source tarball somewhere?

then i assume i just patch them to the latest 2.6.11 kernel

thanks a lot again-

The .config looks good, so the error you are getting is weird. If you 
look in include/linux/skbuff.h you should find that the definition of 
__dev_alloc_skb is wrapped in
#ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_DEV_ALLOC_SKB

If you have no such line in your skbuff.h file then your patching has 
gone wrong. I notice you are using 2.6.10 still -- have you tried 
downloading a more up to date repository or snapshot tarball?

Take a look in your .config file. There should be a line near the 
start, at the end of the 'XEN' subsection, that says 
'CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_DEV_ALLOC_SKB=y'.

If you're missing that, and/or the entire xen subsection, then you've 
somehow configured for native i386 by mistake.

kernel compilation

[andrew mathes]

I posted to xen-users I was having problems, but looking through list 
archives looks like xen-devel is a more appropriate place.

After patching my kernel, and running make menuconfig ARCH=xen, everything 
seems fine.  When I run make ARCH=xen, it compiles fine till here:
   CC      arch/xen/kernel/skbuff.o
arch/xen/kernel/skbuff.c:28: error: redefinition of `__dev_alloc_skb'
include/linux/skbuff.h:940: error: `__dev_alloc_skb' previously defined

arch/xen/kernel/skbuff.c:30: warning: implicit declaration of function 
`alloc_skb_from_cache'
arch/xen/kernel/skbuff.c:30: warning: assignment makes pointer from 
integer without a cast

is there anything I should be doing different/workaround?

Re: kernel compilation

[Andreas Unterkircher]

you havent build all the modules i think :)

this order as example if you wanna do it step by step

make xconfig
make clean
make dep
make
make modules
make bzImage
make modules_install

kernel compilation

[mtr]

hai

 I am a new bie in the list. I have a doubt. It is about kernel compilation.
I use  linux-2.4.20-8 in redhat 9. In the default kernel after i giving
the lsmod command it will list the following list

Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
sr_mod                 18136   0  (autoclean)

ide-scsi               12208   0
scsi_mod              107160   2  [sr_mod ide-scsi]
ide-cd                 35708   0

jbd                    51892   7  [ext3]

After compilation the new kernel is booting and i could not get the USB
mouse and Xserver. At the prompt i give ls mode it will give only the
following line.
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted

I compile the source in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/ using the commands

make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage

after this i move the bzImage to the boot directory and edit grub to boot
the new kernel.

How to load all modules in the default kernel into the new kernel.
or How to make a kernel image that contain all the default modules and my
new option given in make xconfig.

Sorry for this long mail to this list and my not good english.

If this is not a list to ask this type of questions please give the
apropriate list name

With regards

Kernel Compilation

[Syed Mohammad Talha]

 Dear all,

 I have just subscribed this mailing list and sent mail to
 linux-vger.kernel.org but this seems that I am missing omething, because I
 cant see my mail on the list and also have no idea whether this is the
right
 place to discuss or not, if not please excuse me, if yes than please help.
I
 have an IBM e-server and have installed redhat 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2, now
 when I am trying to upgrade the kernel I am unable to do so. This has the
 SCSI HDD and controller aic7xxx. I am upgrading the new kernel 2.4.10 now
 when I start compiling the kernel every things goes ok but when I makes the
 initrd image it gives different errors, like

 modules for aic7xxx not found or
 all loopback devices busy

 I am selecting all the options in the kernel compilation as per my
knowledge
 and adopting the ways defined to compile, I have compiled the same kernel
on
 an IDE drive and is working fine and did not gave any error, but on scsci I
 am very badly stuck, I can make the initrd image from the old modules
 directory and define in the lilo.conf with the new kernel it works. Once I
 was successful in making the initrd image through the new kernel module
 directory but this was of no use, because when I rebooted the machine there
 was a kernel panic


 So guruz please if u can help me in resolving this problem, I am not sure
 that whether I am selecting the wrong choices in the kernel compilation or
 there is something else. Also when I compared the old module directory
which
 was of the default installed kernel and which I compile are quite
different.


 Looking for help

 Talha
