I ran it again and it still made a warning that the patch file ends in the middle however this time it didn't crash so we'll have to see if it was successful if/when it finishes compiling. How will I check.

Also I set the flag to j6 but looking in top it doesn't seem to be using much of each core. Is that normal? I expected 100% number crunching.

Kernel compilation is pretty intensive. I have mine set (as recommended in /etc/makepkg.conf) to the number of physical cores + 1 on my machine, so that's 3 + 1, and it doesn't go at 100%, but I know it's working away and will be done in about 35 minutes for a generic build, so all is good.

Will be a little bit before I can try again since I forgot that I only alloted a small partition for my vm so when I tried on that one I ran out of room.

So I need to make a new partition before I have another go.

Maybe I'll have another bash on the old one again. It might not crash with the new patch though it might well have been hardware related.

Hmm segmentations fault again on the old computer. Is that due to hardware or something fixable?

Nobody else has such issues, so...

Check CPU temperature during compilation, install microcode updates if it's Intel from 2013+, run memtest86, prime95.

MarthaParkin · 2016-05-13 22:52:18

wow ... after 3 hours yet again...

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package_linux-usbhub().
    Aborting...

Last time it was space issues but I just expanded by 50 gig.

What switches are you guys using to run it?

Also how do yours finish so quickly and mine takes hours? is it something to do with bieng amd? I am using 6 cores but it has made no difference at all that I can notice in compiling speed.

That's not the same error. This time it failed at package stage which means it finished compiling successfully. This usually means there's something wrong with the PKGBUILD. Post it here so we can check it.

Thanks. I wasn't sure about the naming of the .install file in the main directory. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. Because in the Kernels/Arch Build System[2] wiki it said

Depending on the PKGBUILD you may have to also rename linux.install to match the modified pkgbase (e.g. for linux-grsec).

but didn't explain when or why you would need to do this. So I renamed mine linuxusb.install so Im not sure if that is wrong or not since I was just winging it based on the elusive message in the wiki.

I tried renaming linux-usbhub since it was different than the filename but it didn't make a difference; got that same error.

Can anyone give me another clue not sure where to go next. My computer is definitely not overheating. Monitored temps last night while compiling and all fine.

bstaletic · 2016-05-16 12:03:07

Have you tried renaming linux.install to linux-usbhub.install?

MarthaParkin · 2016-05-17 09:37:50

yes I changed the name in PKGBUILD to pkgbase=linuxusb and changed the filename to linuxusb.install. Got the same error as the most recent one above.

Maybe someone who already compiled the patch could upload their build directory that worked for them on their machine so I could try on mine?

MarthaParkin,

the patch that mich made is no longer available from the link he posted.
Could you run "makepkg --source" from the folder you have the PKGBUILD in and upload the resulting tarball somewhere ?
That will allow others to build with the exact same files as you.

Are you sure you uncommented this MAKEFLAGS line in /etc/makepkg.conf? It should finish in less than hour on six cores.

Maybe this messed something up. I think you are trying to do too many things at once. Revert everything to defaults and then re-add only the lines required for patching, as instructed by Ropid (only change patch -p2 to -p1). Then, if it builds and if it works, you can play with renaming it to your liking.

It was same thing as in my forum post on page 3.

EDIT: A build following Ropid's instructions with my patch finished cleanly in 24 minutes.

Yes I did not update you guys that I hadnt uncommented. I just noticed on the last couple build attempts. I had changed to j6 but not uncommented but things are going alot quicker now I have.

Re doing too many things at once it isn't that I am trying to be 'fancy' it's rather that following the wiki I am unsure what is necessary from what is not. So I will avoid that if, on your recomendation, it's not needed.

I'll sort the source thing out shortly. Stand by.

It's only a couple of kbs though so don't know if I did it wrong or if it's supposed to be like that?

Hmm so yours built ok without an error? as even ropid was not able to complete the build. If yes I will have another go with that one too.

For Ropid's patch I got

$ makepkg -s --skippgpcheck

I did

ABSROOT=. abs core/linux

and just followed his instructions from his patch post downloading his hosted copies. I read on google that you have to change/add the hashes in PKGBUILD but not sure which to add or if that is the right thing for the job here.

In the PKGBUILD, go to the line where you see "prepare() {". Add the following before that line:
source+=('ch11.h.patch')
sha256sums+=('SKIP')
Now go down a few lines and into the "prepare()" function. Look for where "change-default-console-loglevel.patch" gets applied. Add this line after it:
  patch -p2 -i "${srcdir}/ch11.h.patch"

Just get clean PKGBUILD from ABS and do the above, only changing ch11.h.patch to mich41.patch and -p2 to -p1.

I did that and still get

Well, sha256sums differs in size from source, what could possibly be wrong?

Now just admit that you didn't use clean PKGBUILD from ABS

I absolutely did several times.

I do

ABSROOT=. abs core/linux

then do the edits of PKGBUILD suggested above and copy mich41.patch into the PKGBUILD directory. Nothing else up my sleeve (that I am aware of).

EDIT: ok got the old girl going now when I tried again. Maybe I got mixed up somehow and copied some other file across I shouldn't have previously but I was definitely doing abs thing each time.

EDIT2: WOoohoo! Finally...my first successful build. Thanks yall for the help in getting me up and running but now to test it to see if it actually works...

How do I now use the new kernel? I don't follow what the wiki means. It says to install the package

After running makepkg, you can have a look at the linux.install file. You will see that some variables have changed.
Now, you only have to install the package as usual. Best practice is to install kernel headers first as they will be needed (e.g. to install the nvidia driver) for the custom kernel later.

But I thought I had to just point linux to the new kernel? What package am I supposed to be installing? the patch is not a package is it. Anyone care to explain?

Look in the folder where you build your custom kernel, you should see 3 files there ending with pkg.tar.xz .

Install those files with pacman -U

Thanks.

I have left the kernel name as linux.install as someone suggested above. Would it be a good idea to change it now if I need to revert back to the default kernel later? Will there be any other files/configs files I need to update the name of while I'm at it?

Also I made compiled it on my 64 bit machine but want to install it on a 32 bit one. Will that work considered I compiled with only the default PKGBUILD settings?

To change the kernel and package name, you edit PKGBUILD and change the "pkgbase=linux" line to something different. There's already an example provided. Just use that example and call your version "linux-custom". You have to recompile the thing after the change.

That one line is the only change you have to make. You don't have to work on any other file.

If you use a different name, what's neat is that you can have both your kernel and the normal kernel installed at the same time. You have to see how the config of the boot loader you use works, and can add your own kernel to its boot menu so that you can choose between the two kernels at boot.

Btw., you can install with "makepkg -i" instead of doing "pacman -U ...".
