Kernel Compilation With ABS

I'm using the Kernel Compilation With ABS script and most of the stuff works perfectly after I figured out how to configure everything, but Im still having a few problems with it. I'm compiling an x86_64 kernel and towards the end of the script I get these errors:

cp: cannot stat `arch/x86_64/Makefile': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.s': No such file or directory

they exist in arch/x86 but not in arch/x86_64, should they be there or is it safe to ignore them?

The same thing happens if I reboot into my 32 bit install and change arch to i686. If I change it to x86 I get this error:

==> ERROR: kernel is not available for the 'i686' architecture.  Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('i686').

Re: Kernel Compilation With ABS

I managed to fix it (or atleast I think I did, it doesnt give those errors anymore) by linking /arch/i686 to /arch/x86. Heres the updated code, my changes are in bold right after all the echos in the build function. Should I update the wiki?

Re: Kernel Compilation With ABS

You know you can simply change in the official PKGBUILD:
pkgname=kernel26
to something like
pkgname=kernel26-mykernel
to build a custom kernel installable side-by-side with the official kernel?

Re: Kernel Compilation With ABS

nope i didnt know that, thanks. im still getting the hang of the aur/abs even though ive been using arch for about a year. i was messing around with this pkgbuild earlier on my 32bit test distro and couldnt figure out how to do a side by side install and not an on top one.

It's as simple as renaming the pkgname to "kernel26-custom". If you want to add a patch, make sure you add it just after the -ARCH patch process. Also, if you want to change the configuration, you'll probably need to do it in 2 steps: run makepkg, wait for the compilation to start, then stop it with ctrl+c, go in src/linux.../ and run "make menuconfig". Don't forget after that to copy the (hidden) file ".config" back to the main dir, next to the PKGBUILD, and overwrite the file "config" with it.

Re: Kernel Compilation With ABS

No it should not:
pacman -Qo /lib/firmware/acenic/tg1.bin
/lib/firmware/acenic/tg1.bin is owned by kernel26-firmware 2.6.29-1

Look at the last line of the kernel26's PKGBUILD. You should see:

  # remove the firmware
  rm -rf ${pkgdir}/lib/firmware

Do you still have that in yours?

Re: Kernel Compilation With ABS

Then just copy PKGBUILD file form abs tree there are fine PKGBUILD with rm -rf /lib/firmware.

No, it deletes the /lib/firmware folder in the kernel package that you're building, the one that you're about to upload.

Re: Kernel Compilation With ABS

oh ok, thanks.

Im trying to merge the nvidia PKGBUILD with this PKGBUILD so it installs the nvidia modules automatically when it gets done installing the kernel but I cant really seem to figure it out. this is as far as Ive gotten (this goes at the end of the kernel PKGBUILD):

nvidia.pkgver=185.18.14
  arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
  [ "$CARCH" = "i686"   ] && ARCH=x86
  [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && ARCH=x86_64
  url="http://www.nvidia.com/"
  depends=('kernel26>=2.6.29' 'kernel26<2.6.30' 'nvidia-utils=185.18.14')
  conflicts=('nvidia-96xx' 'nvidia-173xx')
  license=('custom')
  install=nvidia.install
  source=("http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-$ARCH/${nvidia.pkgver}/NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-${nvidia.pkgver}-pkg2.run")
  #md5sums=('871fb27da348c71e4a97a158af80f9dd')
  [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] #&& md5sums=('28882531c762f5a8690b658e7e3e410f')

  build() {
    cd $srcdir
    sh NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-${nvidia.pkgver}-pkg2.run --extract-only
    cd NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-${nvidia.pkgver}-pkg2

    cd usr/src/nv/
    ln -s Makefile.kbuild Makefile
    make SYSSRC=/lib/modules/${_kerver}/build module || return 1

    mkdir -p $pkgdir/lib/modules/${_kerver}/kernel/drivers/video/
    install -m644 nvidia.ko $pkgdir/lib/modules/${_kerver}/kernel/drivers/video/

    sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION='.*'/KERNEL_VERSION='${_kerver}'/" $startdir/nvidia.install
  }

I have no idea if it actually works since I just copied and pasted what I though was needed from the official PKGBUILD and changed a few variable names to either use ones already defined (_kernver to _kerver) or so they wouldnt conflict with ones that were already defined (pkgver and nvidia.pkgver). I see that install is defined as the value "nvidia.install" but I have no idea where to place the functions that are defined in the nvidia.install file.

contents of nvidia.install using vars defined in the kernel PKGBUILD

post_install() {
    depmod ${_kerver}
}

post_upgrade() {
    post_install
    rmmod nvidia || echo 'In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manually.'
}

post_remove() {
    depmod ${_kerver}
}
