How To Compile the new 2.6.16 kernel from kernel.org

Quote:

---

In "Device drivers" go to "Block devices" and in "IO Schedulers" leave only the "CFQ I/O scheduler" activated, which provides the best performance.

---

Dont know why I dont have in "Device drivers" the opcion IO Schedulers.

anyone have this same prob??

Another problem.. ;)
--------------------------------
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.
----------------------------------
I have checked all kernel directories in /usr/src/linux(version)/include, but nothing

Well new kernel up and running but need the splash screen :( Im goint to work with my wireless now, the strage thing is the default Ubuntu kernel have my Wireless drivers, and only with sudo ifconfig wlan up make my wireless appear, but now this dont work, I still have the drivers, but need to enable.....

Time to work lol

-VGA text console and Video mode selection support- build in kernel (y)
-MDA text console-module (m)
-Framebuffer Console and Framebuffer Console Rotation support-build in kernel (y)

Not sure how to change from "m" to "y" and vice versa in xconfig so I opened the .config file in gedit and checked it manually.

Archck patch includes the Con Kolivas patch but with lots of other cool things too like acpi updates and suspend2 but I had trouble compiling it.

It's here if you wanna hava a go: http://iphitus.loudas.com/archck.php

Could this work with usplash? I've tried it but I never got the usplash picture but I don't think I enabled the other stuff. Regular vesa doesn't work at all.
I see you recommend archck and vesafb-tng is included in that.

There's nothing called MDA text console-module in this kernel...

I have the spalsh but my ethernet doesn't work and my FAT32 partitions doesn't work too :/
Do you know how to resolve this ?
Thanks

Iptables starts but firestarter doesn't reconize it. Youb don't need firestarter anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

After running xconfing I can see the option networking support/networking options/TCPIP networking/network paket filtering/core netfilter configuration/netfilter xtables support, which is unchecked. Its description says "This is required if you intend to use any of ip_tables,
ip6_tables or arp_tables."

It seems to me that my make oldconfig misses it...

So, my question is: how can I tell if iptables does actually work? And if it doesn't, how can I make it work?

Think you need to do this: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Mount_...tem_new_kernel
in order to mount your local filesystem. When I compiled kernel 2.6.15 this worked anyway. Haven't tested with the latest kernel. So I'm afraid you have to compile again.

i tried compiling the source, but i always get an error when i try to install the created .deb package:

Code:

---

Richte kernel-image-2.6.16-cks3 ein (kiwiv1) ...
Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.16-cks3

---

sorry that it is in german, but the main error is in english

Have the pmount issues from earlier kernel compilations been fixed?

Hi!

Is this patch working with the latest version kernel? (2.6.16.2)?
When I tried to apply the patch I got these lines:
