Openssi: compile your own kernel
From SOFTICE
This page contains notes that helped me follow the official document on compiling your own open SSI kernel. --alessio
Important remark: DO NOT rely on just compiling the debian package of the open ssi kernel which you can obtain by apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.10-ssi-smp-i386.deb
[edit]
Steps to follow
- su -
- apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.10-ssi-686-smp
install it in /usr/src
- cd /usr/src/
- bzip2 -d kernel-source-2.6.10-ssi-686-smp.tar.bz2
- tar oxf kernel-source-2.6.10-ssi-686-smp.tar
just making a link so that we can access the source thru /usr/src/linux/ usefull if other scripts from open ssi assume it to be there
- ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10-686-smp /usr/src/linux
get debian cvs tree
- cd /usr/src
- mkdir cvs-deb
- cd cvs-dev
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ci-linux co -r OPENSSI-DEBIAN ci
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ssic-linux co -r OPENSSI-DEBIAN openssi
we are going to fish the .config file recommended by open SSI
- cd /usr/src
- mkdir kernel.configs
- cp /usr/src/cvs-deb/openssi/kernel.configs/kernel-ssi-i686-smp.config /usr/src/linux/kernel.configs/
get the build script
- cd /usr/src/linux/
- cp /usr/src/cvs-deb/openssi/kernel-package/build-kernel .
- sh ./build-kernel nondebug
the script will compile everything for us and prepare .deb packages:
kernel-headers-2.6.10-ssi-i686-mp_1.9.1-0_i386.deb kernel-image-2.6.10-ssi-i686-smp_1.9.1-0_i386.deb kernel-source-2.6.10-ssi-i686-smp_1.9.1-0_i386.deb
to install the deb packages, let's go for a:
- dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.10-ssi-i686-smp_1.9.1-0_i386.deb
