I went to www.netraverse.com and found out that the newest patch for |
| 2 |
Win4Lin for SMP kernels is 2.6.11. I have to tell you that no kernel |
| 3 |
I've ever built myself (as in without genkernel) has booted. I |
| 4 |
downloaded 2.6.11 kernel source from www.kernel.org , and it seems to |
| 5 |
have built correctly. I followed the following steps: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
cd /usr/src |
| 8 |
tar xvfj /home/michael/linux-2.6.11.12.tar.bz2 |
| 9 |
rm linux; ln -s linux-2.6.11.12 linux |
| 10 |
cd linux |
| 11 |
make mrproper |
| 12 |
make menuconfig |
| 13 |
make bzImage |
| 14 |
make modules |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I didn't apply the patch because I wanted to see if I could get the |
| 17 |
vanilla kernel to work before altering it. Everything seemed to build |
| 18 |
correctly. As I've had many many problems with trying to boot kernels |
| 19 |
without an initrd (on top of the fact that no manually-built kernel has |
| 20 |
worked), I emerged mkinitrd. WWhen I tried to use it, it gave me an |
| 21 |
error saying that /lib/modules/linux-2.6.11.12 is not a directory. An |
| 22 |
ls showed me that it didn't exist in any form. My question is where are |
| 23 |
the modules that were built? Can I just move the modules over (once I |
| 24 |
find them), or do I need to create some type of subdirectory structure? |
