Costum kernel

whargoul · 2005-10-24 18:14:22

Allright so I have decided to make my own kernel, but the thing is is that I am not very good at it. So I just use this Topic so you guys can guide me.

I have downloaded dibble's kernel26archck so I also have fbsplash, bootsplash etc. etc.
So I have one question (and probably many more later). I have a AMD Athlon 3000+ CPU. Do I really need CPU Frequncy Scaling. I'm not using an laptop.

Well, there is another question. What is ISA?

Hi!

You do not need cpu scaling, although I believe that the Athlon 3000+ can take advantage of it and prolong it's life, since it can lower it's speed...not necessary though...

and for your second question, ISA is an old standard bus much like PCI (but old), (now adays you use PCI most of the time) especially if you have such a new computer as you do..

Thanks. So in my sound configuration I can just comment out all the ISA devices and the same thing with CPU scaling?

CyberTron · 2005-10-24 19:03:51

That should be quite possible

Thanks mate.

you probably wont need pci hotplugging either. It allows you to change pci cards while your machine is running. Most motherboards don't support it and I don't know why anyone would wan't to attempt such a thing unless they have some sort of wack computer death wish.

whargoul · 2005-10-24 19:51:29

Well, that is to late since I am compiling. Thanks though. I will try to remember that.

whargoul · 2005-10-24 20:33:15

Yeah it's working.

But 'dmesg' says something I really don't now anything about:

Suspend2 2.2-rc8: You need to use a resume2= command line parameter to tell Suspend2 where to look for an image.
Suspend2 2.2-rc8: Resume2 parameter is empty. Suspending will be disabled.
Suspend2 2.2-rc8: Missing or invalid storage location (resume2= parameter). Please correct and rerun lilo (or equivalent) before suspending.

What does that mean?

CyberTron · 2005-10-24 20:37:28

it just means that you have to (if you wanna use suspend/hibernate funktions) put a resume2=0xsomehex or resume2=/dev/somehd

to your kernel-line in grub/lilo

you may ignore it if you don't want to experiment with suspend funktions

whargoul · 2005-10-24 21:21:59

Alright. Thanks.

I am trying to compile the ArchCk kernel myself, and after running make menuconfig, I tried running make and got errors. What steps did you take to compile?

Thanks.

Personally, I recommend using CPU frequency scaling. If you have a processor that can take advantage of it, you don't always need it to be at top clock speed. When it's needed it will scale up to it.
