questions about compiling kernel on archlinux

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-24 18:49:34

hi...i'm new of this forum and new of archlinux

i'm tryng to compiling a custom kernel in order not to replace the kernel26 package.. i prefere to make it with abs for managing it with pacman.. i followed the wiki but something went wrong.... i used both the pkgbuild i found on the wiki but nothing...can someone help me please??

SamC · 2009-01-24 19:24:22

We could give more help if you posted what went wrong... Error messages, &c.

Ranguvar · 2009-01-25 01:08:31

As SamC said, we cannot read minds Please post your new PKGBUILD, errors, etc.

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-25 12:24:07

tnx for the replies sorry but here in italy we have a different hour here there are:

pkgbuild

pkgname=kernel26-custom
basekernel=2.6.28.1custom
pkgver=2.6.28.1custom
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Linux Kernel and modules"
arch=('i686')
url="http://www.kernel.org"
depends=('module-init-tools')
provides=(kernel26-custom)
install=kernel26-custom.install

build() {
  # build!
  cd ..
  _kernver="${basekernel}${CONFIG_LOCALVERSION}"
  make || return 1
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/{lib/modules,boot}
  make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$startdir/pkg modules_install || return 1
  cp System.map $startdir/pkg/boot/System.map26-custom
  cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage $startdir/pkg/boot/vmlinuz26-custom
  install -D -m644 .config $startdir/pkg/boot/kconfig26-custom
  # set correct depmod command for install
  sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION=.*/KERNEL_VERSION=${_kernver}/g" $startdir/kernel26-custom.install
}

kernel26-custom.install script

post_install () {
  echo ">>> Updating module dependencies. Please wait ..."
  KERNEL_VERSION=2.6.28.1custom
  /sbin/depmod -A -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
}

post_upgrade() {
  echo ">>> Updating module dependencies. Please wait ..."
  KERNEL_VERSION=2.6.28.1custom
  /sbin/depmod -A -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
}

op=$1
shift

$op $*

and now the errors (i wrote the translation under it)

pratically this pkgbuild tries to overwrite many files in /lib/firmware....
i recently compiled from sources the modules uvcvideo, broadcomm STA driver and used isight-firmware-tools.. could be related to these errors??

sorry for my bad english

tomk · 2009-01-25 14:53:50

SInce the inclusion of these firmware files in the kernel, this is likely to happen to anyone compiling their own kernel. This is because /lib/firmware is not specific to any kernel version, unlike /usr/src/linux-<kernel_version> and /lib/modules/<kernel_version>, the install paths for the other kernel files. Useing pacman's -f/--force option is OK in this case.

Re your PKGBUILD, it has no source array, and it provides itself, which is unnecessary. It also fails to install anything in /usr/src/linux-<kernel_version>, which will make it impossible to build any external modules e.g. nvidia etc, against this kernel.

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-25 15:29:52

tnx for the esplannation, but mind that i am a bit too unexpert and i am not very good in english...so... what i have to do to fix it?? i removed the source array because i put this pkgbuild directly in the dir /home/myusername/linux-2.6.xx.y is it uncorrect?

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-25 15:36:29

i know i can force the installation bangkok_manouel but i don't want to make damages to my arch installation..if tomk has right about the problems for compiling external modules i think is better to review my pkgbuild because i use many external modules.. can you tell me how to fix this pkgbuild?tnx

Why exactly are you trying to compile the kernel.?

If you want to keep the kernel version fixed you can use ignorepkg in pacman.conf.

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-25 17:17:16

hi u_no_hu, i am trying to compile the kernel because i use a macbook, i need many customizations due to my hardware (like external modules, different modules from the ones on default kernels) for having a more customized system and for getting more confident with this distro.. i read many times that i can exclude packages from the sync of pacman but i prefere to have more than just one kernel.. one "standard" made by archlinux and one custom for trying to have better hardware compatibility

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-26 08:24:38

anyone here??

tomk · 2009-01-26 10:43:31

There are various other forum threads on this topic, and there are wiki pages about it too. Have a good read, then try again.

Given the state of your PKGBUILD, I'd also recommend reading the ABS-related wiki pages.

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-26 11:02:29

i read about 90 threads but nothing...i know my pkgbuild looks so "rough"..first of all sorry for upping this thread but i wanted to know how to make it, i'll try again

I used this guide the first time I compiled my own kernel :

tnx Nezmer, is the same link i followed, but i see that your pkgbuild is a bit different so i'll give it a try

Dusty · 2009-01-26 20:27:59

You could also try looking at the Arch Linux Italia wiki; it may have a translation of the kernel compiling page that is easier to read (if not, maybe you can write a translation :-)):

lorenzo87 · 2009-01-27 13:04:36

hi dusty..i also had a look on the italian wiki..the problem is that there are the same instructions, only traslated if i can't do it with the articles on the eng wiki, the same will be with the italian one..

if it can be of any help, this works for me too. actually, it's the official arch kernel PKGBUILD (maybe not the latest one) that I've just changed according to my needs:

Search the forum for posts by big_gie. He created a PKGBUILD specifically for custom kernel compilation that has gotten very good reviews. You may want to try that out.

i'm tryng to compiling a custom kernel in order not to replace the kernel26 package.. i prefere to make it with abs for managing it with pacman.. i followed the wiki but something went wrong.... i used both the pkgbuild i found on the wiki but nothing...can someone help me please??

Hello, I made this AUR package to make a parallel -ARCH kernel: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23467

You will be able to customize because the PKGBUILD uses the "make menuconfig". I made sure that everything builds with the name "-ARCHparallel" and "26parallel" so that you don't overwrite any default "-ARCH" or "26" files and directories.
