Hi
I just got a new laptop, and would like to compile my own kernel
(unpatched at first). Does anyone here have or know of a script or
sequence of commands for compiling a drop-in replacement for a standard
ubuntu kernel with a kernel.org kernel. Preferrably without having to go
via a .deb...
I go via a .deb:
Enter the kernel source directory, copy the desired kernel config
to .config (probably safest to start with the one from Ubuntu's kernel),
then:
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=rlrevell.0.9
--append-to-version=-smp-noipv6 kernel_image
The .deb will be generated one directory up.
Then since the Ubuntu kernel config requires an initramfs:
cd to /boot, su to root, then:
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.17-rt3-smp-noipv6 2.6.17-rt3-smp-noipv6
/boot/grub/menu.lst will already have been updated when you installed
the .deb, just add a line like:
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-rt3-smp-noipv6
HTH,
