ABS Kernel Build - pkg install error [SOLVED]

prof_chub · 2017-07-02 07:02:27

I'm trying to build a new kernel from the Kernel/ABS wiki instructions to debug a Macbook8,1 acpi issue. I've patched and built the package but receive the following issue when trying to install via pacman.

From the new pkg directory:

sudo pacman -U linux-alto-headers

Result:

loading packages...
error: could not open file linux-alto-headers: Error reading fd 5
error: 'linux-alto-headers': cannot open package file

I'm relatively new to arch so I may be in over my head on this but am trying to get the patched build working to get the debug output from this device back to the requestor.

Welcome to the arch linux forums prof_chub. From the output of the command the linux-alto-headers appears to be a directory not a package.
The created packages should have the extension .pkg.tar.xz. ( unless you changed the compression format )

Thank you! Can't believe I didn't notice that. The install worked for me but somehow the spi_pxa2xx_platform module didn't make it into this build

Check the package version from `pacman -Q linux-whatever` matches the version from `uname -r`
If the versions are correct check `zgrep CONFIG_SPI_PXA2XX_PCI /proc/config.gz`

Yep, they matched up and I ran the command and found that it was enabled per the config changes I made prior the the build. I had always seen it listed in the modules but it looks like that isnt the case when changed from 'm' to 'y' (?)

It looks like everything is working from what I need so hopefully we'll see some progress on this driver for my specific model.

Thanks for your help.
