How To Compile the new 2.6.16 kernel from kernel.org

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

I've just installed dapper beta 2 and decided to use a 2.6.16 kernel I compiled in Mepis (the ubuntu alpha version) as it ran really well in Mepis, and the same config also works well in slackware. The problem: the ip tables issue mentioned in this thread and a failure to start the enterprise volume manager on boot (with the result that I can't mount a fat32 partition). So I decided to follow this guide but got the same problem. I tried using a patched vanilla kernel, an unpatched kernel, the config file from my existing ubuntu kernel, and a custom config file that's worked well in other distros. Unfortunately nothing seemed to solve these issues. I've reverted to the stock 686 dapper kernel - 2.6.15-22 - and everything works again, but has anyone got any ideas why this is happening?
There is a tutorial on how to get iptables to work with new kernels :) Check the first page of this thread. It's all the way on the bottom of the first post.

Thanks, I saw that, but haven't tried it as my main concern is the enterprise volume manager issue.

[geearf]

Well I still don't understand the whole restricted modules compiling thing. How do you compile restricted modules, are they part of the kernel compile or just some kind of secondary operation you do after the kernel compile? I don't expect you to give me a long drawn out explanation, perhaps just quote me something from a web page or point me in the direction of something that can explain restricted module compiling.
if you look at this page : http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/base/linux-restricted-modules-686

you will see that restricted modules are modules that are not free, so they do not come with the kernel itself, but you can still compile them as another package.

Sorry it's a bit late, and I'm not thinking very right right now ...

[Resurrection]

I appreciate you sticking with me on this geearf. I think I am very slowly getting the idea now, kind of like pounding a nail into my head.

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Module-HOWTO.html

That site talks about LKMs (Loadable Kernel Modules). Is that along the same lines as a restricted kernel module? As I think I understand, a restricted module is one that must be compiled based on the kernel image you are using, but I don't get this: Does that restricted module have to be done as part of the kernel compile or can it be done separately like a LKM?

[neoaddict]

Can I apply the latest kernel patches from Synaptic or no? Thinking no because they're for 2.6.12....

[jdusablon]

Wow! What a difference! Thanks, MasterChief1234! My system is pretty snappy now!

but after i reboot my ubuntu ... it show me about can run new kernel
but after loading "Mounting root file system" .... it's hang, stop running and show problem

http://juszt.exteen.com/images/Untitled-1%20copy.jpg

thank you

[bepcyc]

my problem is that I boot my breezy from usb hdd

so I need to build a special initrd image, because kernel need to wait about 10 seconds after inserting usb modules before it can mount root partition from usb hdd

I have a /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf which worked with previous versions of kernel (from Ubuntu)

but with compiled 2.6.16 kernel it doesn't work

I do as usual
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-`uname -r`

everything ok here

but when I try to boot this kernel I get a lot of errors

it looks like
... unknown filesystem type 'devfs' ...

what does it mean?
devfs is not in kernel, as far as I know

[yoshic]

thnks men, it worked perfect for me :KS thanks many thanks

[Resurrection]

Well after muching tweaking, reading, and learning, I have discovered that geearf was right, I do need to compile restricted modules with my kernel. When I compiled my kernel before, it worked, but it was just a compile of the latest kernel with nothing else. When I went to install the latest nVidia drivers, the little install script for it from nVidia would not let me because it couldn't find information on the kernel I compiled (looking for headers or something :-k ). So I could only use the nVidia drivers that are in the repository.

Then, my basic kernel did not support some of the things I like, like usplash and some other functionality. So its back to learning for now until I figure out how to compile the kernel with restricted modules or whatever I need to do to make my own kernel work how I want it to. Yes, I've read all the how tos on here I could find with regard to kernel compiling but they didn't help much with regard to restricted modules.

[moore.bryan]

on kernel.org there a 2.6.16.15 and patch-2.6.16.15. shouldn't that be used instead of the ck stuff?

[geearf]

on kernel.org there a 2.6.16.15 and patch-2.6.16.15. shouldn't that be used instead of the ck stuff?
why?

[moore.bryan]

why?
there's all this talk of the ck patch... but if kernel.org supplies something named a patch, shouldn't that be used? maybe i just don't understand the whole ck part of the kernel update.

[geearf]

well the patch from kernel.org takes you to the last kernel available that'is.
The ck patch, is a patchset to enhance your kernel, but as such thing it may not be stable, that is why it is not in the kernel yet...

[moore.bryan]

i think i'm still at somewhat of a loss then. there's a kernel (2.6.16.15.tar.gz) on kernel.org, a patch (patch-2.6.16.15.gz), and there's ALSO a ck?

[Resurrection]

Unless I am mistaken the patch on kernel.org is only a patch for updating your kernel in that series with the latest stable updates.

For example the patch-2.6.16.15.gz updates a 2.6.16.x kernel with the latest stable updates. I know when I compiled my own kernel last, I used the 2.6.16.14 source and I tried to patch it with the patch-2.6.16.14. It wouldn't patch properly, and I found out that this is because my source already had the improvements of the patch.

the ck patch on the other hand is not from kernel.org. <- Ignore this, see next post (thx).
Its from Con Kolivas (http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/). The ck patch you apply to the last new kernel but only to improve performance, so you would apply patch-2.6.16-ck10.bz2 to the kernel 2.6.16 but NOT to kernel 2.6.16.15.

Looking for a how-to that expains the kernel naming system right now........

Edit: Good ole Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel):

Version numbering

The version number of the Linux kernel currently consists of four numbers, following a recent change in the long-standing policy of a three-number versioning scheme. For illustration, let it be assumed that the version number is composed thus: A.B.C[.D] (e.g. 2.2.1, 2.4.13 or 2.6.12.3).

* The A number denotes the kernel version. It is changed least frequently, and only when major changes in the code and the concept of the kernel occur. It has been changed twice in the history of the kernel: In 1994 (version 1.0) and in 1996 (version 2.0).

* The B number denotes the major revision of the kernel. Even numbers indicate a stable release, i.e. one that is deemed fit for production use, such as 1.2, 2.4 or 2.6. Odd numbers have historically been development releases, such as 1.1 or 2.5. They were for testing new features and drivers until they became sufficiently stable to be included in a stable release. This has changed with the Linux 2.6.x series, with new feature development going on in the same kernel series. Linus Torvalds has stated that this will be the model for the foreseeable future.

* The C number indicates the minor revision of the kernel. In the old three-number versioning scheme, this was changed when security patches, bugfixes, new features or drivers were implemented in the kernel. With the new policy, however, it is only changed when new drivers or features are introduced; minor fixes are handled by the D number.

* A D number first occurred when a grave error, which required immediate fixing, was encountered in 2.6.8's NFS code. However, there were not enough other changes to legitimize the release of a new minor revision (which would have been 2.6.9). So, 2.6.8.1 was released, with the only change being the fix of that error. With 2.6.11, this was adopted as the new official versioning policy. Bug-fixes and security patches are now managed by the fourth number, whereas bigger changes are only implemented in minor revision changes (the C number).

Also, sometimes after the version there will be some more letters such as 'rc1' or 'mm2'. The 'rc' refers to release candidate and indicates a non-official release. Other letters are usually (but not always) the initials of a person. This indicates a slight fork of the kernel by that person. e.g. ck stands for Con Kolivas, ac stands for Alan Cox, whereas mm stands for Andrew Morton.

[thasheep]

the ck patch on the other hand is not from kernel.org.
Its from Con Kolivas (http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/).
It's not talked about on the front page, but the CK patches are hosted by kernel.org (just look at the URL of the download links from Con's webpage). Here're all his 2.6.16 patches http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/2.6.16/

Your right, I fixed what I said. At least most of the rest was correct though.

[Bokonon]

The ck patches seem closely linked to the main patches anyway.

Check Here (http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/)

As of the time of my writing this, the 2.6.16.14 patches are included in the ck10 patch, which I downloaded. Thus, you can take the base 2.6.16 kernel and just apply the ck patches and get nearly everything that the main ones have, plus his custom mods for performance.

I guess it is just personal preference,　but it seems that most people like the ck patches so I went with those. The best route would be to compile both sets and benchmark to see which ones work best for your particular configuration. :cool:

Oh yeah, and thanks to the OP for a great how to!!

[moore.bryan]

bokonon, i think you read my mind; my next question was about which to use. thanks to all who contributed to my little sub-thread. i started compiling late last night and fell asleep on the keyboard. i hope to reboot into a speedy kernel this evening...:p

[neoaddict]

What specific packages would I have to remove in Synaptic to remove the old kernel?

[bepcyc]

Did anyone have a problem with usb mounting in kde?

In my case, when I insert a pendrive it shows me standard pop-up where I select to open my flash in a new window

and after it konqueror shows me that he is waiting for something (mounting of flash, I guess), but it doesn't happen ;(

anyway, the flash is mounted after it, but I can't get it with media:/mydevice, only with standart /media/mydevice


did anyone solve this problem?

[Resurrection]

What specific packages would I have to remove in Synaptic to remove the old kernel?
Search in synaptic for something like "linux-image-2.6.12-10-386". Obviously your kernel version may be different from that one. Also, its been recommended by many people on here that if you custom compile your kernel that you keep at least one other stable kernel. I had two stable kernels from Ubuntu install when I made my custom kernel. So I just deleted the oldest of the installed kernels, but left one of them just in case.

[BKK]

Well this is my first time doing a new kernel. Things could be worse I guess.

- I can't access my second hard drive at all. It was hdb5 before. I have edited fstab as instructed on various forums here. Also when I am in dev/hdb5 no files show up ( the drive is fine in XP )

- I lost my sound! One guy said this upgrade fixed his sound! quite ironic eh?

- I lost my splash screen even after reinstalling in synaptic, it still wont show.

I am kinda stumped now! I am a noob, but kinda getting used to linux.

I hope someone can help out. Thanks

[neoaddict]

Splash screen - Open up Synaptic and reinstall usplash.

Sound - Search for your sound card on the forums.

[play0r]

ive troubleshot this down to a kernel issue.
i believe i may have gone wrong in my menuconfig some where along the line.
i have an intermitten network connection if i use the newer kernel. ive tried several things to resolve it (resolvconf etc etc, no pun intended). :-#
it will randomly drop without rhyme or reason, any where from a few minutes to a day. i can ping my loopback & my own ip, but not the gateway or outside the gateway. when i try & bring my connection connection up with ifup/down or renew it with dhclient, i get an error about a temporary loss in name resolution. i have to reboot to regain a properly functioning connection again.
when i use the stock ubuntu kernel its fine.
thx in advance for any help.

ez,

[Melvil]

Hi everybody!

Great howto. I just compiled kernel 2.6.16.16 and it boots up fine, but I can't login from GDM. As soon as I enter my password and hit enter GDM just restarts.
I can't find any errors in Xorg.0.log or dmesg.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

/edit: Okay, suddenly it works :)
This kernel is bloody fast, application startup time is way superior to the dapper 2.6.15-22 kernel

[geearf]

I was thinking of trying this kernel, and from the last comment I definitely want to try it.

I'm thinking of giving a try to the beyond patch-set http://iphitus.loudas.com/.
but nothing for .16, but I guess it's not so bad.

[WishMaster]

Before: standard Ubuntu kernel 2.6.12-10-686
Now: 2.6.16-ck3 - i686

- I don't notice any 'improvement'. No extra stability, no faster apps,...
- My webcam is recognized, but gives no image
- Usplash is gone (reinstalled it, have to reboot to check it out)
- My external HD shows up in /media, but there seems to be no auto-mounting (at least: the icons for usb-device don't show op on desktop)

I'm on an laptop with Centrino processor, so I chose "pentium M", but in the end it gave an *386.deb :-k

I'd say: stick with your default Ubuntu kernel, upgrading isn't worth it.

[play0r]

i believe i may have gone wrong in my menuconfig some where along the line.
i answered my own question. :-#
sorry for the bump.

[geearf]

Well my kernel did not boot, problem loading modules.dep (I don't know why) and some problem with the IDE already registered.

I guess it was not a so good idea to customize all the options.

[christhemonkey]

I have the same problem as someone a page or so back.
When i try and login it just sends me straight back to the gdm.

They said that it just started working, but mine hasnt so far....

Nothing unusal in the xorg logs...

[RavenOfOdin]

My experience with the 2.6.16 kernel was as follows:

Last night, after a game of Wesnoth, I decided I'd put off upgrading the kernel long enough. So, I got the recent patch from kernel.org and the kernel from this HOWTO, and started updating. Followed every instruction to the letter, but when I hit "sudo make xconfig" things got a little crazy.

Xlib kept spitting notices back at me which said "Could not start X server on display 0:0" and after a look in Xorg.0.conf I saw that I was basically trying to audit the display via client. So, I typed in "sudo make menuconfig" instead and my console, being small enough to satisfy a minimalist, whined at me with the words "Your terminal session must be 80X50 in size" (Or whatever the actual digits were, but I figure them to be somewhere around that.) Then, I went to full screen mode.

I wasn't able to find the prefetching option (this was the 2.6.16 kernel without patch, mind you) and I had to guess at a few other things. But eventually, I got the config done (with Processor Type as Athlon/K7) and thought I was through the worst of it.

Little did I know. :eek:

The compilation process was HORRIBLY long. And when I use the word "horribly" with only capital letters, I mean it!! I started that step at 11:30 PM or so and got done with the compile + build roughly an hour later. If it weren't so late at night I would have gone to find something decent on TV.

As for the rest of the process:

I hit a couple of snags with make-kpkg clean and deb file compilation, mostly due to my tiredness at that hour. . .

But eventually, it was done and the kernel was installed.

My performance was a lot faster, but I noticed that halfway through the boot process I was able to type at a blinking underscore. The typing didn't affect the boot process, but when HP Linux Printing and Imaging System started, I got a bunch of errors which said "Cannot set scancode (256)". . .Or, something to that effect.

I notice that now ALSA plays as default in Amarok. No more manually starting ESD in the background. Yay. :D

Just a question to anyone else that may have compiled this kernel -- What the blue hell is process "shpchpd_event" ?

It was owned by root and in my process table, and I've never seen it up until last night.

@MasterChief1234: Thanks for writing this out.

Now. . .I'm going to have to patch it. I hope to God that the patch isn't as long as the kernel compilation was. ;)

Well my kernel did not boot, problem loading modules.dep (I don't know why) and some problem with the IDE already registered.

I guess it was not a so good idea to customize all the options.

Ya think? :p

Yea I remember my first try outs. I always wanted to remove to much stuff. But after several retries U learn and its a smooth ride. And whats best is that my slimmed kernel only requires around 15min to compile. And even that time could be shortened by removing even more unnecesary weed...

*laughing like a maniac* :D
10-15 minute's is what I get too. I disable all uneeded features/modules and then my kernel size (this is the debian file built after complication) is about 10.46-11 mb compared to 13.7-16 MB. Disabling everything that is uneeded has alot of performance payoffs and faster compile times but don't go crazy with trying to minimize your kernel. Otherwise, it won't boot/cause alot of problems and you will waste all that saved time on compiling it again and figuring out what you did wrong. :)

That's very good advice.

BTW: The kernel update killed my ATI drivers.

[RavenOfOdin]

. . .Oops.

[RavenOfOdin]

Sorry for the double posts, someone delete this.

I can't believe my stupidity. >.<

[geearf]

kernel compilation here is more like 2 - 3 hours.
Even stripped a lot it was still way more than an hour (it was about 8Mb).
Maybe because of my comp (SDR is slow, and an FSB of 100 MHz too).

And because of that I don't try to build the kernel many times to get the right one, cause it is way too long :(

I may try again tomorrow to see how it goes this time.

[CrashOverKill]

Im compiling right now so far so good been runing about 20 minutes. I can recall back to a Intel Pentium with dual 200mghz CPU's and 64 megs of ram. Compiled my first kernel on it...........took 12 hours LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Melvil]

Damn, I thought the kernel update caused no problems, but my wireless interface is gone (ipw2200). It's compiled into the kernel, but this is the only message in dmesg:

ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:02:0 failed with error -5

sudo modprobe ipw2200 doesn't add anything to dmesg. Help! :(

[Resurrection]

I've done a couple now and thats about how long it takes me, usually about 2 hours even for a stripped down version. Thats on a 1.2 Celeron with 512 Ram. I stopped sitting there to see how long it takes now the best way I have found is to just set it up so that I start the actual compile when I go to sleep at night. Then when I wake up, its all done, and I don't have to sit there and watch stuff scrolling in my terminal window.

Did you compile the latest ndiswrapper from source ?

[CrashOverKill]

On a side note. When I loaded up Dapper my wifi card is detected automatically. On the current stock kernel wiht breezy I have to use ndiswrappers. Im hoping that with 2.6.16 kernel this wont be required anylonger. If not oh well Ill load ndiswrappers again LMFAO. By the way............still compiling LOL

[godsfilth]

im sorry if it was posted somewhere but i couldnt find it anywhere.

this is the 3rd or 4th time ive compiled a kernel and i always have this one issue that i cant solve im on a laptop and my touchpad dosnt let me drag, normally i can tap once then tap and hold and drag things around, also i have a button in the middle that usually emulates page up, page down, forward page, back page but it no longer works either. does anyone know how to help with this because i want to use my custom kernal but i dont wanna change my habbits thanks in advance


also nice guide especially the part where it makes a .deb instead of just installing it now i can back it up if i screw up and i can reinstall much easier

[CrashOverKill]

What make model laptop. Might have to do some digging in that direction. I know my old thinkpad took some kernel tweaking to work right

[xtacocorex]

I just wanted to say thanks for the guide that helped me to successfully compile the 2.6.16 kernel with the ck9 patch that actually got my prism54 wireless card to work with minimal tweaking. One thing I will say is that if you have a prism54 card, the vanilla kernel looks for the firmware in /lib/firmware so you need to edit $FIRMWARE_DIRS in /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to point to /lib/firmware.

I've attempted kernel compiling before and they either failed or just didn't have the config I wanted, namely wireless not working.

With the success of this, I think I might try another one with the suspend2 patch for my laptop and further removal of components I don't need. I read through the first 6 pages of this thread, but I think somewhere someone might have gotten usplash to work. I might figure that out too since my laptop is old and seeing the black screen just makes me think that something isn't working.

EDIT:
It appears that my touchpad doesn't allow sidescrolling now, but I think it comes down to the device I put in my xorg.conf file for the default kernels. Once I figure this out, I can create an init script to read my kernel version and then link the proper xorg.conf file to get the touchpad working and hopefully not break my system.

[mi33]

How long (usually) compilation should take ?
Last time it taked really long time...
What's with this kernel ?

(My PC > Intel Celeron 1GHz & 256MB RAM)

Sorry for my english :)

Sorry for my english :)
It all depends on how well you know your computer and how much you can cut out. Eg, you probably only have one sound card and one ethernet card so you can get rid of all the rest. If you don't use raid, remove everything that mentions raid. Apart from "system" filesystems (proc, dev, sys, tmpfs, initrd), You'll probably never see any filesystems other than ext2 ext3 reiserfs, vfat (removable drives/shared shared with windows), ntfs (windows) and iso9660 (cds/dvds). NLS for languages you can't read is probably useless too. If you don't have floppy or tapes drives, you don't need to support them.
On your computer, an optimised kernel would (as a guess) take somewhere in the range of 20-30 minutes.

[Melvil]

Did you compile the latest ndiswrapper from source ?

ndiswrapper? I'm sure it's not necessary for the ipw driver because it's a native linux driver and worked without ndiswrapper before.

[thasheep]

Damn, I thought the kernel update caused no problems, but my wireless interface is gone (ipw2200). It's compiled into the kernel, but this is the only message in dmesg:



sudo modprobe ipw2200 doesn't add anything to dmesg. Help! :(
You also need to have the ipw firmware. It can be downloaded from somewhere but it's also in linux-restricted. I find the easiest way is to create a link from a standard kernel's firmware package. If it worked with the 2.6.15-22-686 kernel then do the following...
cd /lib/firmware
sudo ln -s 2.6.15-22-686 `uname -r`Make sure you use `uname -r` rather than 'uname -r'.

[godsfilth]

What make model laptop. Might have to do some digging in that direction. I know my old thinkpad took some kernel tweaking to work right


its an Acer Aspire 3000 (the AS3002LCi model)


edit:
well i just did a dist-upgrade to dapper since ive been meaning to and it appers to have fixed the touchpad issues while still useing my custom kernel

[RavenOfOdin]

OK, finally got the kernel patched and I think performance is even better now.

I took out a bunch of drivers and customized some features.

There are a few things which are really wrong, mostly with the APM and printing (and I may recompile the kernel to put these back in), but the general issues I can live with.

[neoaddict]

I recompiled the 2.6.16 kernel again with no driver support for the things I don't need. The original Ubuntu kernel is so slow compared to this one.

Any news on any new kernels?

[RavenOfOdin]

I've gotten the new iptables and patch-o-matic from netfilter.org as per the HOWTO (former from its snapshot directory - 1.3.5-20060518 - and latter from its main dir), but when I try to update the kernel source with them it spits out errors as follows:


Cannot apply - <n> missing files.



ERROR - <n> rejects out of <n> hunks.



ERROR - missing files.


These errors happen on the unpatched 2.6.16 kernel as well as the patched 2.6.16-16 one, using the source which is already unzipped into /usr/src/linux. They also happen with every individual netfilter patch, using "t" and "n" to skip.

Any idea what could be going wrong? Do I need to "make" the kernel source over again?

(EDIT: I don't need to download the source again, since the .tar file isn't corrupt as checked with md5sum, and I've unzipped it again into another directory and tried from there.)

PS: Is there a reason patch-o-matic was cited in post #177 and not patch-o-matic-ng as in the HOWTO? This process isn't working with either, and they're both the latest version.

[hikitsu4]

I got a question about the nvidia driver i got installed now with my k7 kernel, when i install the new kernel deb file do i need to install the nvidia driver at the same time again or?

[mucha]

I only get a black screen when I tries to start with the new kernel. The only I did was to change my processortype.

[neoaddict]

Does it show the login screen eventually?

[mucha]

No, nothing happens. Well I hear it's loading the kernel or something.

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

No, nothing happens. Well I hear it's loading the kernel or something.
Try waiting and see if you just have no usplash. To get it back, once you are at a usable desktop, open synaptic, search for "usplash" and then select it for re-install. Then hit "Apply."

I tried the re-install for usplash no go[-( ....
Otherwise from that THANKS!!! i compiled my own kernel successfully. Now to really twek it out ans get rid of the stuff i really don 't need.
I have to install back my ivtv drivers but i think i can handle that now :D

I wait about 10 minutes at max and nothing happens. It seems it just stops loading.

[Cirrocco]

I just successfully performed the contents of the how to, but I have one problem:

the comuter I did it on has a 10 gig harddrive and this little ditty cost me 10% of my drive.

is there any post-upgrade files that are safe to delete?
maybe all the stuff in /usr/src ?

[neoaddict]

It cost me 600 MB of my hard drive.

Anyways, you can go into terminal and type in these commands:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean

That'll get rid of old Synaptic packages on your hard drive.

Then, go into /usr/src and delete the linux symbolic directory.

If that doesn't work, restart your comp using your old kernel, open up Synaptic and search for 2.6.16 - you should find the new kernel package. Completely remove it.

Then go to /usr/src and remove the linux-2.6.16ck3 directory.

Now it's time to once again recompile the kernel!

When you reach the xconfig stage, deselect stuff you don't need (if you don't have bluetooth, disable that, etc).

It made my kernel a little bit faster and saved me 10 MB of space.

[Yoriko]

I compiled this fine, much faster, thanks.
But it completely screwed my eciadsl drivers, I'm guessing recompiling would fix it, but I havn't gotten around to that yet.

i want to run the patch-2.6.16-ck9.gz
is it alright to do

When i do that i get

gunzip: /home/enigma/Desktop/patch-2.6.16-ck9 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)?
Can someone explain to me .. wat is going on please... and lead me into the right direction?
TIA

EDIT.. i found patch-2.6.16-ck10.bz2 so i'll use that... BUT i would still like to know what is going on here?
EDIT 2 :D ... I just noticed i did grab the wrong file from the wrong folder from .. SHeeshh........ Chalk it down to a learning experince compilig ck10 now... THEN i'm going to have to add my ivtv and lircd modules.... whhooopiies

for .gz, it is gzip not bzip,

so it is gzcat, or cat.

[customs]

Well, I've compiled the 2.6.16 kernel with the 2.6.16.16 patch over it. I've added the ipw2100 firmware to /lib/firmware

The new kernel is faster and stable, but my synaptics touchpad functions (scroll areas and scroll button) don't work and the system can't find a splash screen. Also laptop keys don't work (Volume, Screen Brightness) with the new kernel. And ATI original driver is gone.

I've reinstalled usplash with no effect. I've recompile and reinstalled ATI driver with no effect. I've checked xorg.conf, where everything is fine and configured.

Any suggestions?

[customs]

Strange things are going on...

After few reboots the ATI driver begun to work, but the Synaptics touchpad still don't work ](*,) I've found these lines in Xorg.0.log :

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.13.6

Is anyone else having trouble uninstalling iptables at the last step?

[airzer0]

very nice how to, im sorta new to linux, used redhat for about 3 months but nothing..NOTHING touches ubuntu, building the new kernel was awsome

[Xor van Dorf]

I installed the latest kernel and I now want to remove the other one. In Synaptic, I "Mark for removal" linux-image..., but it also want to remove "linux 386", "linux-image-386", "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12.10-386" and "linux-restricted-modules-386". Should I remove them too?

Also, reinstalling the usplash with Synaptic did not work, any other way to get it back?

[Yoriko]

you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove "splash" from your kernel line,
that way you get text output, I kinda prefer it to usplash.

Just sucessfully compiled my kernel (ck10) with everything I don't need.
Works like a charm, and for those using eciadsl, remove DABUSB from the kernel when you compile it (it is under USB)

[geearf]

Hello,

I've recompiled my kernel, but now I have the iptable problem. I've seen the solution on the first page, but it's quite odd, anyone knows why is that.?

[neoaddict]

Xor van Dorf, you should keep the old kernel in case you ever want to compile the kernel again.

MasterChief, have you tried compiling the kernel yet with the ck10 patch?

[RavenOfOdin]

Well, I just broke my kernel.

These are the notices I now get on startup (more or less :p):


Warning: error inserting /drivers/video/console/bitblit.ko
Warning: error inserting /drivers/video/console/fbcon.ko
Warning: cannot find /drivers/video/cfbcopyarea.ko
Warning: cannot find /drivers/video/cfbfillrect.ko
Warning: cannot find /drivers/video/cfbimgblt.ko
Warning: cannot find /drivers/video/softcursor.ko
Fatal: error inserting unix : can't/remember/path/to/unix.ko : bunch of stuff


After that, it just sits there.

It looks like I'm going to have fun fixing menuconfig.
Either that or I'll just download the ck10 patch and be done with it.

(EDIT: After nosing around a little bit, this is what I come up with.

1: /var/log/kern.log gives me a bunch of messages related to l2cap and rfcomm when I try to start the faulty kernel. They go as follows, with <symbol> being an entry in the l2cap or rfcomm structs:


l2cap: unknown symbol <symbol>
l2cap: disagrees about version of symbol <symbol>


Same thing with rfcomm, ad nauseam. After doing "locate l2cap" I noticed these modules were/are related to Bluetooth support. What would happen if I took Bluetooth support out of the kernel completely? I assume these messages would stop showing, but after seeing a few things on these forums related to the forced integration of Bluetooth and KDE - the latter of which I use at the moment - I'm uneasy with that idea.

2. For anyone who is having trouble removing iptables through modprobe, try this:


rmmod iptable_filter
rmmod ip_tables


3. Just out of curiosity. . .*uneasy grin*. . .What are TPM/TCG modules doing in the character devices section?
)

(EDIT #2: I think I know what the /video/console problem is now, I have a built in S3 ProSavage as well as an ATI Radeon. I took out the Savage drivers thinking the ATI would pick up the slack on OS pre-load. . .which may have been wrong. Just gotta re-compile it and see.)

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

No, I don't patch my kernels.

[garijon]

Hi, I compiled the kernel, following the steps. The improvement was amazing. The thing is after booting I have the lost my second HD. I have 2 IDE hard drives, but my box only sees one now.
When I try to manually mount the second one, I get a message saying that it is either mounted or busy. If I try to unmount it, it says it was not mounted at all.
If I boot using the original kernel I see it just fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If your using xconfig you can go to

For anyone who has used the ck10 patch, is there a minor or major difference compared to ck3?
I'm not sure if there is.. the easiest thign to do is the check the changelog.

Here's the ck11 patch:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/2.6.16/2.6.16-ck11/patch-2.6.16-ck11.bz2

Thanks for that, I'll try it when I'm at home.

Other question: How can I compile the latest kernel (2.6.16.18 atm) with the ck patch? I tried to patch the kernel with the patch and I get lot of errors. Do I need to patch it on the 2.6.16 kernel AND apply the 2.6.16.18 patch after?

[a9db0]

Hey again... i've compiled 2.6.16.9 (downloaded from the front page)

And all seems to have gone perfectly.

However, i'm trying to re-install vmware player, and it gives the following errors:


This seems wierd and shouldn't happen.

Please help! :)

Pricey

Here are a couple of suggested steps for getting vmware reconfigured on kernel 2.6.16:

1) If you haven't already, reboot your system so it is running on the new kernel.

2) Download the file vmware-any-any-updateYYY.tar.gz from this link (http://mirror.vmmatrix.net/vmware-any-any-update/). Replace the YYY with the most current version, 101 as of this writing.

3) Untar the file, and run the runme.pl script. This perl script patches several of the vmware files to match the ever-changing kernel headers.

4) The script will then ask if you wnat to run the vmware-config.pl script. Do so, and enjoy the return of vmware.

I've tested this on 2.6.16.18 and it works fine.

[RavenOfOdin]

EDIT: Scratch that, I have my 2.6.12-10-32 kernel usable, and iptables 1.3.5 seems to be running on it without any errors that I can detect.

Now, the hard part is getting Firestarter to recognize the changes and making sure they'll be available in the 2.6.16.18 kernel.

I've used these from the command line:


modprobe iptable_filter
modprobe ip_tables
modprobe ip_conntrack


and the last one seems to get rid of the "/proc/net/ip_conntrack: No such file or directory" error in my "Active Connections" tab. But I know from /usr/local/etc/firestarter/firewall that there are quite a few more modules to load. And preferably, these must be done automatically. The best option I have at the moment is to recompile 2.6.16.18 with netfilter in, needed core and *all* IP modules. Gonna see if that works to load the modules and get Firestarter to recognize iptables at the same time. . .might be tricky, but I'll get it done.

@MasterChief1234: You might want to update your HOWTO with links to the iptables programs, like so:


cd /usr/local
ln -s /usr/src/iptables iptables
ln -s /usr/src/iptables-save iptables-save
ln -s /usr/src/iptables-restore iptables-restore


Or, just install it in /usr/local as the README states. :D

[argie]

When I check the /dev/agpart section for Via and I check the DRM for Via Unichrome and compile, I still get a kernel that gives me no direct rendering.

I tried it some 3 times and checked that the .config file had it enabled before I compiled.

glxinfo still gives me "Direct Rendering: No"

Is there anything else I need to enable to get that?
glxinfo:
"__driCreateNewScreen_20050727 - succeeded
AllocateDmaBuffer fail
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
"

Also, when I start up, I get lots of insmod: File not found errors. something about video, bitblit.ko and stuff, if that matters, tell me I'll try to get the whole thing.

[RavenOfOdin]

Are you unable to go beyond the boot process and stuck at a black screen with those messages?

[argie]

Well, it pauses there for quite a long time, after the last error. Then I get a long list of errors that scrolls by super quickly, too fast to notice and then Ubuntu starts normally.

But yeah, it starts after that. No black screen for me.

Okay. . .then. . .

Do you have support for Matrox enabled in your character and/or graphics sections? (Device Drivers) G200 and G400 especially.

I put those in and those messages similar to yours vanished. Now I'm getting a defunct Kubuntu usplash - where it doesn't load modules or anything, just sits there -with recovery mode notices like:


[4294674.148000]unix: disagrees about version of symbol sock_register
[4294674.148000]unix: unknown symbol sock_register
[4294674.148000]unix: disagrees about version of symbol sock_wake_async
[4294674.148000]unix: unknown symbol sock_wake_async


Try doing it even if you don't use a Matrox card, because I'm running a 128 MB ATI Radeon 9200 over a built in S3 ProSavage DDR.

Hi
I've tried compiling 2.6.16 kernel with ck11 patches, after some reading on mail lists and forums. But unfortunately I'm stuck.
Every time I boot, start up procces freezes at "Mounting root file system" message. All drives are correctly found, before that, and everything seems normal, but start proccess just stops there. Oh, maybe I shouldn't say it freezes because I can scroll kernel messages(there are none errors), and system reboots instantly on ctrl-alt-del. I've tried compilling it with "my" cut down configuration, and default one (the one that is provided with clean install system kernel and definately works). I've also tried 2.6.16.18 kernel without any patches...
Maybe someone knows what is happening?

[neoaddict]

I just compiled my own kernel with the ck11 patch with no problems...

Did you follow the steps word by word, except to replace ck3 with ck11?

True, I went step by stap...and I think I did it like 3 or 4 times. I'll try one more thing as far as all my build were made for AMD64 - I'll try to build x86_64 generic kernel...

Edit:
Tested building 2.6.16 kernel w/o patches for x86_64 --->same problem
Tested building 2.6.17rc5 kernel for x86_64 and AMD64 ----> same problem

Now I really don't know why it is not working. The only kernel that had worked afhttp://ubuntuforums.org/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
ter compilation was old one 2.6.15.8 from ubuntu reps...

Edit2:
Uff, hopefully solved it. It looks like the problem was in version/configuration of device mapper. After reinstalling it the new compilled kernels starts smoothly as them should.
It looks that obsolete version works only with 2.6.15 kernel versionfamily.

[Progressive]

I am just wondering why Ubuntu doesn't just give us the latest kernels. Do they, or debian, do any work on their kernels?

[zymazyt]

I think that now, they are concerning all efforts on kinishing work with dapper stable. Their dead line is close, and they have some thing to do with it :)
But true is that, at least, 2.6.16 kernel should already be shipped with beta, so they could check it for errors and compatibility...

P.S. Is there any way of getting rid of failed kernels apart from removing them from the grub menu?

1) 2.6.16.18 loads bootsplash for me correctly, I just had to put CONFIG_FB_MATROX and the Matrox G200/G400 support in along with the console display instructions on the bottom half of the first page.

Even though I'm using an ATI card, and not a Matrox. :p

2) You have sound on the login screen? :confused:
3) Did you reconfigure xserver to use the default system display driver before changing kernels?

P.S.: Yes there is, go into terminal and type

sudo dpkg -P <name of kernel image file>


This would assume that you're using a custom built kernel.
All kernel files reside in your /boot/ directory (Config, system.map, initrd and that other one.)

[ravpaul]

Tried two more times, got the same message.

Noticed that I am getting the following errors when typing in "bzcat /home/rav/patch-2.6.16-ck3.bz2| patch -p1 -R". Could that be of any significance?

[RavenOfOdin]

Tried two more times, got the same message.


Are you trying to compile the ck3 patch without the 2.6.16 base?

[extremecarver]

Well - Could you please add that wifi problems are solved for those where ndiswrapper didn't work - after adding the IPW2200 to lib/firmware. --Ndiswrapper must be installed too!

Either or means no wifi for me.

[digiplaya]

Strangely enough, when I try to make the DEB file as the instructions say to do, I get this error on that step (while compiling the sound drivers for the kernel):

In file included from sound/pci/ice1712/revo.c:25:

sounds familiar?
ideas?

[linuxunil]

I was wondering if someone could give an example of how to get fglrx to work with this kernel or give a thread that discusses how do to it i have been searching the forums and wiki and cannot find one.

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

Install fglrx-kernel-source.

sudo apt-get install fglrx-kernel-source

[linuxunil]

Thanks got it fixed.

[digiplaya]

Mine was fixed too, except for usplash still doesn't work, even after reinstalling it.

I'm using the kernel that the guide instructs to make. (2.6.16-ck3)

[hannes_]

For all you Ubuntu users with the new Kernel, BUT the working usplash.

Here is the workaround for the problem.

In order to get the usplash working for ubuntu. Apply the following settings to your config.

Graphics support:
CONFIG_FB_VGA16=m
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y

Console display driver support:
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE=m
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y



you will need to edit the
/usr/src/linux/.config
file yourselfe, but this shouldnt be any hard.

greetings Hannes

[digiplaya]

So, recompile the kernel with your changes to get usplash?

[hannes_]

So, recompile the kernel with your changes to get usplash?

ya

just edit the file and do the following steps again


make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg -initrd --revision=ckXX kernel_image


I used the ck11 patch and it worked fine for me.

[digiplaya]

Hmm...no usplash yet for me. Tried your steps exactly, too. Is this common on 2.6.16?

[hannes_]

let me see your .config pls, gonna have a look at it.

also make sure your /boot/grub/menu.lst entry is like this

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.16-ck11
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-ck11 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash vga=795
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-ck11
savedefault
boot



greetings

[digiplaya]

Attached is my .config...I noticed that with the new package made, it still says "vmlinuz-2.6.16-ck3" instead of "vmlinuz-2.6.16-ck11" as well as "initrd-2.6.16-ck3" under /boot.

Ooh...didn't notice that. Currently re-doing the kernel as you say.
Will let you know how it goes ASAP.

Plus, is there a way to compile the kernel only with changes you just made to it's .config file instead of recompiling the entire thing?
EDIT: Wait, just found out. I didn't use make clean and it started where I left off.

[bartman]

I've downloaded the latest stable kernel source (2.6.16.20). Which patch is the correct one for this version:
- ck12/patches/patch-2.6.16.20 (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/2.6.16/2.6.16-ck12/patches/patch-2.6.16.20)
- ck3/patch-2.6.16-ck3.bz2 (http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.16/2.6.16-ck3/patch-2.6.16-ck3.bz2) from the first post

I have a laptop with ati graphics and fglrx drivers. I've read that substituting them with ati in xorg.conf for first boot is a must. Is this also wise to do as it doesn't stand in the first post?

Thanks a bunch!

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

No if you are not patching the first release (2.6.16, 2.6.17) you will not be able to patch the kernel with a patch from ck.kolivas.org. If you do, you are looking at a kernel that will never compile.

[digiplaya]

Ok: usplash is functional with 2.6.16. I'm all set now! Will keep 2.6.15 branch kernel just in case I need to revert back.

Danke, hannes.

[bartman]

MasterChief, what about the first patch i linked to?

Or should I just forget about the 2.6.16.20 version and go for 2.6.16 with ck patches for speed?

[zarathustra]

Do you not still have to apply the EVMS patch from the Ubuntu repositories, or is this now fixed?

[hannes_]

you are welcome :)

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

MasterChief, what about the first patch i linked to?

Or should I just forget about the 2.6.16.20 version and go for 2.6.16 with ck patches for speed?
I think that you should forget about the patch. I don't use them because I feel that I if I am custom compiling a kernel, I should do it on my own. Your not missing out on much performance gain by patching your kernel. You can get the same performance by choosing certain options in xconfig.

[bartman]

First of all I got the 2.6.16 kernel from www.kernel.org, to the source of which I applied two patchsets:
- patch-2.6.16-ck12.bz2 (speed optimizations)
- linux-phc-0.2.4.tar.gz (undervolting support for Centrino/Sonoma laptops)

I then modified the voltage table of my Pentium M 770 in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.c to stable undervolted values, which I got from my undervolting experience in Windows but the knowledge from Gentoo forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-341298-start-75-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html).

After disabling unneeded parts (SCSI, RAID) and enabling VESA VGA support of the kernel I compiled it, which took 22m27.981s ! A 4 minute increase from my previous attempt, but that one didn't boot. :P

So after a reboot the machine booted faster, usplash isn't there, only my wireless card didn't completely work. I noticed that in dmesg there were complaints about missing firmware files so I quickly copied them over to a new folder in /lib/firmware:
$ cd /lib/firmware/
$ sudo mkdir `uname -r`
$ sudo cp ./2.6.<version-of-previous-kernel-i-was-using>/ipw2200* ./`uname -r`/

After that a simple module removal/insertion:
$ sudo modprobe -r ipw2200
$ sudo modprobe ipw2200
And to check if the wireless interface started:
$ dmesg | grep ipw

The device starts, scanning works, however it will not associate with any access point, even though i command it to with
$ sudo iwconfig eth0 essid <name> ap <MAC-address>

EDIT: Nevermind, it works like a charm.
There is, however, no console output, e.g. when i change to console with ctrl+alt+f8 there is just a blank screen! I didn't notice it before because the new ubuntu splash screen was over it. I thought I had followed the tips from the first page of this thread but apparently I missed some kenrel options. But now at least I know what is wrong! :D


Thank you MasterChief1234 for this wonderful and easy to follow guide!

[talz13]

Is this kernel ever going to be included in an update to breezy or are you forced to upgrade to dapper to get an updatable kernel? (as far as the update manager / synaptic is concerned)

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

Is this kernel ever going to be included in an update to breezy or are you forced to upgrade to dapper to get an updatable kernel? (as far as the update manager / synaptic is concerned)
No, this kernel will never be included in Breezy or Dapper. About halfway through the development process of a new Ubuntu version, a kernel freeze happens. This means that the current kernel will remain the default kernel included and supported by Ubuntu. I believe Breezy uses the 2.6.12 kernel (I think that it is updated due to a security problem) and Dapper uses the 2.6.15 kernel with patches from 2.6.16 (stable) and 2.6.17. (still in development)

[massivevoid]

How do you apply the 2.6.17 patch?

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

Please note that it is unstable but I have used release canidates and they were fine. Download the 2.6.17-rc6 patch from kernel.org and then follow my tutorial up to the part where you patch the kernel. Change the command to the path of the file.

It would look something like this:
bzcat /home/$USER/patch-2.6.17-rc6.bz2| patch -p1

[OPaul]

.... and Dapper uses the 2.6.15 kernel with patches from 2.6.16 (stable) and 2.6.17. (still in development)
How much of .16 is in Dapper? Is there a list of what patches are included?

Also, is a .deb possible to streamline the installation through the Synaptic Package Manager?

I know.

Still, I want to try it, because I have a broadcom card in my laptop.

What should I do on this part?

william@crafford:~$ bzcat /home/william/patch-2.6.17-rc6.bz2| patch -p1

I really can't say, sorry...

Also, is a .deb possible to streamline the installation through the Synaptic Package Manager?

What exactly do you mean ? Take a new kernel and put it in the repositories or already have a .deb file. This tutorial allows you to build a debian file so you can install it.

I answered in the quotes.

[OPaul]

Put it in the universe repository (sorry, I assumed the repositories were .deb files). I may not understand how the kernel is compiled, so it may just be a stupid question. But whenever a new patch for .15 comes out, it's available in the repositories, so is it possible to have .16 in there?

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

Put it in the universe repository (sorry, I assumed the repositories were .deb files). I may not understand how the kernel is compiled, so it may just be a stupid question. But whenever a new patch for .25 comes out, it's available in the repositories, so is it possible to have .16 in there?
No, there will never be an updated kernel in the repositories unless a major security vulnerability is uncovered or you are dist-upgrading because a new kernel will be in the next Ubuntu release. There are no updated kernels because of the "kernel freeze" as I stated earlier.

[OPaul]

No, there will never be an updated kernel in the repositories unless a major security vulnerability is uncovered or you are dist-upgrading because a new kernel will be in the next Ubuntu release. There are no updated kernels because of the "kernel freeze" as I stated earlier.
I guess I thought that's what the Universe repository was for then, unsupported software.

[OPaul]

I'm compiling ck3 now, but does this mean I won't have the latest version. Is ck3 a numbering scheme that is used before real numbers? For instance, on kernel.org the latest version is 2.6.16.20... doesn't say anything about ck anything.

Or is ck something that someone has modified themself?....

[keithjr]

Install fglrx-kernel-source.

Thanks for the guide, but once again I find myself to be a cryptic exception to everybody else's experiences...

I'm having the EXACT same problem, after installing and booting into the new 2.6.16 kernel fglrxinfo now tells me I'm using a mesa driver. I issued the above command and... nothing much happened...

What is the next step? I thought I searched high and low xconfig for something that must have installed, but couldn't see it. Also, would it work if I built it in or should I stick with modular?

[Slicedbread]

Does any one know how I can install the newest linux-headers, they are not available in synaptic.

[OPaul]

Does any one know how I can install the newest linux-headers, they are not available in synaptic.
I think the headers are included in the /usr/src/linux-whatever_version_you_installed directory, if you followed this guide.

[Slicedbread]

Yeah, I guess it was, but I'm still having problems with ndswrapper-- I can't get to join wpa encrypted lans (mine) but it works with wep and open Wlan's - I reinstalled wpasupplicant throug synaptic but I still cant access it- I could before with the default dapper kernel.

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

I have made some changes to the main thread by:

Merging step 1 & 2
Making the last step build a kernel image, modules, and headers
Making the letters of the steps bold
Adding to the troubleshooting guide
Removed custom compilied kernels
Linked to ck12 patch for 2.6.16

What I'm planning to do:
Add more performance tips

Are their any suggestions for the thread to make it easier to read/more useful ?

I have also been thinking of making a kernel install script where you would specify your kernel directory and then it would try to install it, asking you a few questions along the way. Does anyone think it is a good idea and would anyone be interesting in helping. My script skillz are almost nill but you would just need to use the commands listed on the origional post. Thank you.

[ehula]

MasterChief1234,

You need to edit two more items on the front page: steps 5 & 7 should both refer to ck12, not ck3.

Now, when I follow your steps, I get the following results:

Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
#
# using defaults found in .config
#
.config:19:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol CLEAN_COMPILE

followed by about 150 other "trying to assign nonexistent symbol" lines like the one above. I am running Dapper. Can I ignore these warnings?

[ehula]

Oh, you will also need to change step 14 from ck3 to ck12.

One more question related to the ubuntu fglrx driver. Do I need to uninstall anything related to the fglrx driver before upgrading the kernel, or change xorg.conf to refer to the "ati" driver?

And, when I install the fglrx-kernel-source, can I uninstall all the other fglrx packages first, or are they still needed?

No, you do not need to uninstall anything. Just make sure it says fglrx in your xorg.conf. I wouldn't recommend uninstalling the other fglrx packages though.

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

No, ck's refer to performance enhancing kernel patches. So yes, ck patches are modification patches that are applied to the kernel.

So instead of taking the 2.6.16 from the link you provided, could I take the 2.6.16.20 from kernel.org and then apply the latest ck patch to that?

Do the ck patches have a homepage that lists some of the performance changes that have been made?

No you can only apply the patch to the first kernel of the release cycle (ex: 2.6.16, or 2.6.17) NOT 2.6.16.20. And yes, you can look at the changes in the ck1-12 folder here. (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/2.6.16) Browse to a ck patch folder and look at the changes. I personally don't use the patches but for anyone learning to build a kernel, it is worth it.

OK. After compiling, I have three new .debs:
kernel-image
kernel-headers
fglrx-kernel

Which do I install? Do I install the fglrx-kernel? Remember, I had previously installed the ubuntu fglrx packages: linux-restricted-modules and xorg-driver-fglrx. I have still not yet installed fglrx-kernel-source.

You would install your kernel_image first, then your kernel-headers, and finally fglrx-kernel.

[ehula]

I'm not completely sure I understand how to set up the fglrx driver to work under the new kernel. So far, I have followed what you have said...left the restricted modules and the xorg-driver-fglrx as is from the original Dapper install. I have compiled the kernel and installed kernel-image and kernel-headers, but when I try to install fglrx-kernel, this is what I get:

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

I'm not completely sure I understand how to set up the fglrx driver to work under the new kernel. So far, I have followed what you have said...left the restricted modules and the xorg-driver-fglrx as is from the original Dapper install. I have compiled the kernel and installed kernel-image and kernel-headers, but when I try to install fglrx-kernel, this is what I get:

$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-2.6.16-ck12_8.25.18-1+ck12_i386.deb

That's strange...could you just install your kernel image + the headers and then install fglrx-kernel-source and see if fglrx works ? It might work after just installing the fglrx source.

Sorry, to bring up the script idea but who thinks it is a good idea ? And does anyone have a suggestion on how to make the origional post easier to read or follow ? Thanks.

When I try to manually mount the second one, I get a message saying that it is either mounted or busy. If I try to unmount it, it says it was not mounted at all.

I ran into the same problem, and if I made a small change to my fstab to make it work. Instead of (for example):
/dev/hdb1
use
/dev/evms/hdb1

I think that should take care of it.

I compiled 2.6.16.20 from kernel org and lost the ability to mount CDs with the SATA CD drive of my laptop. I get the following error when trying to mount:

mount: special device /dev/scd1 does not exist

I just solved it for myself, I don't know if I was having the same issues though... I explicitly removed the packages I had used to install fglrx the first time around (before the upgrade), then re-installed them. Of course, the linux-restricted-modules has to be replaced with the fglrx kernel source you provided... but I think that's the issue people are running into: unclean installation

Still trying to compile the kernel and still getting the same output when applying the patch.

I'm copying and pasting the instructions but still get the same results!!!

Is there a particular directory that I run the patch from or a file that I run it on?

[neoaddict]

Is there an speed improvement for the 2.6.16ck12 kernel over the built-in kernel for Dapper?

[Mourner]

Thank you for such a comprehensive guide, xXx 0wn3d xXx, I wouldn't cope with compiling and deploying a customized kernel without it.

I have a question though. According to the guide, the default Dapper kernel configuration is imported before any changes. So, if I haven't touched any graphic and console devices settings in xconfig at all, why does the new kernel behave so differently (in my case, framebuffer for usplash is not working - I have a blank screen instead of it while loading)?

Thanks in advance.

[ravpaul]

Actaully I just noticed that my compile may be failing at make xconfig as there are many errors occurring.

Any idea why this is happening? I'm copying and pasting the code exactly. Stumped by this:???::confused:

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

Thank you for such a comprehensive guide, xXx 0wn3d xXx, I wouldn't cope with compiling and deploying a customized kernel without it.

I have a question though. According to the guide, the default Dapper kernel configuration is imported before any changes. So, if I haven't touched any graphic and console devices settings in xconfig at all, why does the new kernel behave so differently (in my case, framebuffer for usplash is not working - I have a blank screen instead of it while loading)?

Thanks in advance.
To get usplash to work, re-install it and then try adding vga=789 or another vga number to your splash line in grub:
quiet splash

Then add vga=789 to it:
quiet splash vga=789

[jeremytaylor]

Wow, it's really quick, thanks for the guide!

Having problems with my wireless card though. It's the standard intel 2200 hing so I kindof expected the kernel to support it.

I've tried linking the firmware from a previous kernel as suggested somewhere in this thread but I still get the following in dmesg

[4294680.398000] ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, git-1.0.8

Any suggestions?
Jeremy

[neoaddict]

As I mentioned in my post above, any improvement from the 2.6.16ck12 kernel over the built-in kernel in Dapper?

[jeremytaylor]

No idea, never got that kernel to boot!

Any wirelss suggestions? I don't understand why I should need to recompile ndiswrapper when there are linux drivers for the intel card?
Jeremy

[jeremytaylor]

Ahh fixed it. Needed newer ipw2200 drivers and firmware.
Thanks again for the how to... very pleased with my new dapper install.

step #15 says:
sudo dpkg -i <name of the file>

Name of what file excactly?

[RavenOfOdin]

step #15 says:
sudo dpkg -i <name of the file>

Name of what file excactly?

The .deb file produced by kernel_image. :rolleyes:

[xinix]

I followed the directions with no problems and have a kernel that I can boot from. My SATA partitions aren't mounting though. I left the settings the same as what was in the stock kernel config. How do I go about solving this problem?

[sswords]

For anyone who wants to use the nvidia legacy driver with the 2.6.16 kernel, I found that I needed an unofficial patch (available from the nvidia linux forum here (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=67068)) for it to compile. There are other some other patches available here (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=50150) which I didn't use but might be important for some people.

[echo $USER]

I get this message when i run the last command to build the .dpkg file:

I get this message when i run the last command to build the .dpkg file:

I started over, but i excluded adding the patch. It worked, but now i cant load X with the new kernel. Said something about can't load nvidia module. Nvidia driver works on stock kernel; should i reinstall the nvidia driver for the new kernel?

Yes of course, you must always reinstall vga driver after installing a new kernel.

[echo $USER]

Yes of course, you must always reinstall vga driver after installing a new kernel.

Will it screw up the nvidia driver i installed for kernel 2.6.15?

[bartman]

I don't think so.

The only thing you might want to backup is your xorg.conf!

[echo $USER]

I don't think so.

The only thing you might want to backup is your xorg.conf!

Thanks! Will do.

Got the same error as Ravpaul did. Kept going and got this error durring the compiling step.

I had the same error. Start over and skip the part about adding the kernel patch. Then it will work.

[abbot]

ok. i'm trying that, but i still get that errors durring step 13.

[lime4x4]

if i deselect stuff that i don't need will that help make the system faster???
I c alot of stuff checked marked that doesn't apply to my system like compaq raid array dell and toshiba laptop support just to name a few

[lime4x4]

well it worked...lol my system is faster then before...the only problem i have is when i rebooted with the new kernel i had alot of software updates i have one left that won't update here is the error

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.1sarge1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a

Is this related to the kernel upgrade??

[bittdude]

I compiled my new kernel with no problems and it works just fine even with the splash. My only problem is the ATI drivers. I can't seem to get them to work at all. I installed fgrlx-kernel-source from apt command you said but unfortunately I'm still getting nothing. The drivers worked perfectly in the default kernel provided with Drapper. Is there something I'm missing or neglecting to do?

[mfaridi]

I installed ubuntu 6.06
I want install firestarter and another program for install this program it s need kernel source

I download kernel source with this command
apt-get install -d
I just download it
can I install it with this command

dpkg -i kernel*.deb

Thanks for the guide xXx 0wn3d xXx.

I'm using dapper drake final on a dual core amd processor.

I need your help. I was able to compile the 2.6.16 kernel cleanly with the ck12 patch without any problems. However, after rebooting I am not able to get past the login screen. The first time I logged in I got that message that my home directory is /home/loc but that it does not exist. So to check, I booted into failsafe mode and it turned out that it was gone. In fact the home directory was empty. I then reverted back to the old kernel and rebooted into my system just fine. I then copied the home directory /home/loc to a backup directory. Next, I edited menu.lst with gedit and uncommented the the compiled ck12 kernel and rebooted.

This time when I logged in I got this message:

"Users's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users."

Do I need to copy the directory with some kind of special permission other than just using Sudo? I have compiled 3 to 4 times now both with and without the patch and each time I have not been able to get past the login screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to get this working.

[ehula]

I just solved it for myself, I don't know if I was having the same issues though... I explicitly removed the packages I had used to install fglrx the first time around (before the upgrade), then re-installed them. Of course, the linux-restricted-modules has to be replaced with the fglrx kernel source you provided... but I think that's the issue people are running into: unclean installation
Can you be more specific about the packages you removed. Which ones did you remove and when? After compiling the kernel? And which ones did you reinstall?

[lime4x4]

ok need to get my ati card drivers back up now..lol I tried what u said and this is what i get

john@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-kernel-source
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package fglrx-kernel-source


Any ideas

Make sure that you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled. (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.php)

[shuttleworthwannabe]

Thanks for the very good HOWTO. I a busy doing this with the latest kernel 2.6.16.20 for my laptop and preferred the 386 arch when following the instructions. Questions:

1. I do not need the patch for this kernel, right? I did not patch, just that you know.
2. How long does it take to get done: I am doing step #14 right now and it is taking forever; CPU is at 100% and fan is blarring and the tempt are at 199'F. I am worried I have this running for the last 35 minutes (I know because I have laundry doing on the timer..hehehe).

Let me know if I am not on the right track. No errors so far.

Wating for the .deb file to pop-up....

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

No you don't need to patch, and it can take anywhere to 10-2 hours depending on your cpu and stuff.

[berserker]

My new 2.6.17-cks1 kernel seems to be a lot snappier than the 2.6.16-cks12 kernel. Desktop is more responsive and apps open noticeably quicker.

Cheers!

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

I have just compilied a new k7 kernel and optimized it. I went to a few other places (gentoo forums and etc.) and found tons of optimizations. I have not had a chance to test the kernel but if you would like to try it out, the file can be downloaded here. (http://files.filefront.com/261620_k7_tarbz2/;5164649;;/fileinfo.html) My page is ubuntu.filefront.com.

[nameiwantistaken]

I got everything fine until the end uwhen the second last step spit out "undefined reference to 'register_hdlc_device'" and then it just went back to the command line. It gives some build error. Anyone know of a graphical way to do this?

[norman_h]

Anyone tried the new 2.6.17 kernel yet?

[Jayzilla]

I want to because of the Broadcom 43xx wireless driver support, but I don't know how. I'm John Q. Linuxn00b.

[tseliot]

Anyone tried the new 2.6.17 kernel yet?
Yes, I did yesterday. Unfortunately the kernel didn't allow me to mount the partitions of my 2nd hard disk (the ones of my 1st hard disk were mounted). I admit that I didn't spend much time configuring the kernel. I'll try it again.

The rest worked fine.

Can you explain how you upgraded? I'd like to give it a go, but I'm not entirely sure how.

[jakeee]

I usually compile the full version of the kernel using my old config maybe changing a thing or two. Just follow this guide.

Btw. I used this guide on the 2.6.17 kernel and I couldn't find the I/O scheduler part. I then tried menuconfig and found it :)

[tseliot]

Can you explain how you upgraded? I'd like to give it a go, but I'm not entirely sure how.
Just recompile it (follow this guide).

[ultima]

I have successfully compiled and am now running on kernel 2.6.17 using this guide. No probs so far. My mounts are fine. I also got rid of a whole lot of crap from the kernel I didn't need so it didn't take as long to compile.

[unique]

Ok I also am running the latest 2.6.17 kernel... Fast! And now i don't need the apci=off in my boot grub menu.lst! No more kernel panic!

One question though.... Do I also need to use the 2.6.17 patch? or just the kernel... I compiled it with out the patch and everything seems to be working fine not sure if i need the patch or not?

P.S. For anyone wanting to try the latest intel ipw200 driver... the 2.6.17 has the latest driver loaded! All you have to do is copy the latest firmware to your /lib/firmware dir!


Thanks in advanced....

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

You do not need to patch your kernels. It is completly optional.

[ultima]

That patch was only for the 2.6.16 kernel so you were right not to use it.

[unique]

Well I new not to use the 2.6.16 patch for the 2.6.17 kernel that i used... but I did see a 2.6.17 patch in the ftp dir where i downloaded the kernel. Just not sure what it does and if i need it.

xXx 0wn3d xXx Thanks for this thread! Has help me so much!

The patches on kernel.org (not ck patches) allow you to upgrade an old kernel. You can do the following methods to upgrade your kernel with the patch.

1. Download the patch and apply it to an old kernel directoy (2.6.16.20, etc.)

2. If you have an old kernel that it still zipped, you can uncompress it and then apply the patch. bringing it to the latest version. Very useful for dial-up users.

Awwww ok! that makes sence, thanks for clearing that up!

My laptop powers down in the middle of building the kernel. I may scream.

Any idea why this is occurring?

Is it over heating ? Check that your fans are properly functioning. Another reason is that it may have been idle for too long making is shutdown.

[nameiwantistaken]

Step 1 on the post doesn't work for me (using latest Ubuntu Live CD install). Does anyone know how I can get that to work?

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

You can't install things on the Ubuntu live cd. You will need to install for that. Even if those things were installed you could not boot into the kernel. The live cd is read from the cd drive.

[OPaul]

Because kernels created this way don't appear in the Synaptic Package Manager, what is the correct way to remove them?

[Jayzilla]

Success! Everything's running smoothly.

Now I just have to get my wifi working :)

Oh nm, they do appear in the Package Manager. My mistake.

What is the command to do this? As I am still unable to compile the kernel from scratch. Where do I download the ck patches from?

Hi,
I tried to follow the outline procedure to upgrade my Kubuntu 6.0.6 (fully updated) from (current) kernel 2.6.15-25-386 to 2.6.17.1 (full kernel, no patches).
The first 12 stages were OK. Entering stage 13 (make xconfig) it erred stating it can't connect to the X server (output follows). Please advise !:(

TIA

don't do "make xconfig" as root. root does not have permission to use the xserver (i.e. the display).

from your normal account, do this:

sudo make xconfig

Whenever I use this method to install a new kernel I loose the use of my Toshiba hotkeys, like display brightness. I copied the .config file over like it says to do, so shouldn't whatever option it is that corresponds to them get checked?

I can't seem to get the fglrx module to compile. I've installed the source with
sudo apt-get install fglrx-kernel-source
as suggested in the guide but when i make the kernel package i get

Ck, performance patches, can be found here. (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/) Patches for upgrading your kernel can be found on the kernel.org homepage.

xXx 0wn3d xXx So do you always need to use the Ck patch with the same version of the kernel? Like 2.6.17 kernel you would want to use the patch-2.6.17-ck1.bz2?

Cause I am running the 2.6.17 without the patch-2.6.17-ck1.bz2 and all seems very well.

[mibadt]

Thanks James,
I followed your suggestion and got the follwing message:
"make: *** No rule to make target `xconfig'. Stop."
To clarify, here is the contents of my /usr/src at this stage.

Any Idea?

Thanks for that. But what is the command to upgrade your kernel from an upgrade patch?

Refer to the "patch" command on the first post of this thread.

Anyone? If I copy the .config file doesn't that mean all my settings from the previous kernel should be copied over?

You also have to get to the folder with the kernel source and type:
sudo make oldconfig

just to be sure

theres a bug in the FGLRX, check out this bug report and also report your bug. Hopefully the DEV will fix this error since its more than 2month old now.

Well it does. But in the UBUNTU kernels there are also a lot of custom patchs applied which are not in the VANILA kernel U are trying to compile. And its just possible that the support for TOSHIBA isnt in the default VANILA kernel.
U could verify this with the 'make oldconfig' command.

The dot means that it will compile as a module.

its perfectly normal.

[xXx 0wn3d xXx]

its perfectly normal.
Yes, install both of them. It would be best to install the kernel_image first and then the kernel_headers second.

[PoisoN2003]

Yes, install both of them. It would be best to install the kernel_image first and then the kernel_headers second.

my last question i installed only 1 of them and when i launched the kernel teh xserver crashed so i reconfigured it but now when i try to reinstall the nvidia the next time i start the xserver crashes or sometimes it says its already installed
then when i do this
poison@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
cat: /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status: No such file or directory

as u can see it hasnt found it
so any help i got nvidia 5600 fx ultra

oh and can i still install the header while im in teh kernel? or do i have to go back to my old one and install from there?

[OPaul]

Well it does. But in the UBUNTU kernels there are also a lot of custom patchs applied which are not in the VANILA kernel U are trying to compile. And its just possible that the support for TOSHIBA isnt in the default VANILA kernel.

You need to copy the .config file to the folder containing the new source. From there you need to use the command I suggested

Well I don't understand, it's still not working for some reason. Now, ACPI_TOSHBIA, which handles the hotkeys, has a dot by it (being loaded as a module), so do I need to do something special perhaps to make the module load with the new kernel?

Also, I notice this when I run dmesg. On the original Ubuntu kernel, 2.6.15-25-686, (where the hotkeys work) I have the following.
[17179597.040000] toshiba_acpi: Toshiba Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.19a-dev
[17179597.040000] toshiba_acpi: HCI method: \_SB_.VALD.GHCI

[17179597.044000] toshiba_acpi: Dropped 0 keys from the queue on startup
But in 2.6.17.1 I only have this[4294671.487000] toshiba_acpi: Toshiba Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.18
[4294671.487000] toshiba_acpi: HCI method: \_SB_.VALD.GHCI

Also, the version numbers of acpi_toshiba are different. The older kernel has the newer copy.

[kakashi]

K well that completely drove me away from kernal compilation....

I dont know what I messed up but when I booted into the kernel it started in Failsafe. I logged in and when I went to start X it panicked. I booted my old kernel (2.6.12 ancient!) and THAT started in failsafe but X started at least. I uninstalled the package and now everything is back to normal. Think I'll wait till Dapper is released then do a fresh install of that so I have the latest kernel.


i suggest to everyone that you first try compiling the kernels a few times on a computer thats not your main one OR like i do in a vmwar. now that vmware server is freely available it is really easy to setup a nice test environment. once your comfortable with the process do it on your main system.

[tseliot]

Also, the version numbers of acpi_toshiba are different. The older kernel has the newer copy.
Ubuntu's kernels are heavily patched and I can't help you with that.

I have backported Edgy's 32bit kernels to Dapper (I haven't uploaded them anywhere yet). The only problem is making the restricted modules. After that problem is solved maybe I can upload everything.

[xpmaniac4ever]

Kernel 2.6.17 is out. Does this howto apply to this new version as well ? Or could someone please modify it to reflect the changes in the new version ?

[cfp999]

I was wondering about that too. My plan is to try and compile 2.6.17 + Con Kolivas' patch-2.6.17-ck1.bz2 although I have no idea what the latter does compared to Ubuntu's "native" patching. Will it be safe to assume, that I can boot a previous kernel in GRUB if something goes completely wrong?
