Compiling stock kernel (a couple of questions and an error)

archuser · 2007-10-30 21:42:03

I want to compile the stock kernel with 1000hz timing with ABS.

I've changed the config_hz lines to config_hz_1000=y and config_hz=1000. Is it just a case of executing makepkg now?

Also I get this error when I run makepkg:

--21:32:19--  ftp://ftp.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/pub/unionfs/unionfs-2.x/linux-2.6.22-rc4-u1.diff.gz

I've loaded the url into my browser and it appears that unionfs-2.x has changed to unionfs-2.0 but this url doesn't appear in the PKGBUILD file.

Also do I use the kernel26 package from /var/abs/kernels/kernel26 or /var/abs/core/base/kernel26 as they both appear to have a different amount of patches.

Delete everything from /var/abs/ that isn't named community, core, extra, testing, unstable, or local. Depends a bit on your setup, but it should correspond with what you've enabled in /etc/abs/abs.conf.
Any other folders you see were from the time before the current -> core repo move and are therefore stale.

kernel26 should be in /var/abs/core/base/

OK. Well I just deleted everything in /var/abs and ran abs again to get a fresh directory tree.

So I take it it's just a matter of running 'makepkg' with the new timings to compile the stock kernel? I'm not bothered about tailoring it to my specific needs.

I've compiled the kernel with 1000hz. 'kconfig26' shows 1000 in the config_hz settings so I guess all is well. Is that the only way to tell?
