Master Kernel Thread

[masux594]

It takes a while (couple hours) for these -> http://master.kernel.org/kdist/fragments/ <- pages to get updated which is what KernelCheck reads the information from. Looks like K_M is going to have to find a new way for getting informational updates since the pages aren't being updated anymore or at least that's what it looks like since Aug.26.

Well, today is the first of September.. the website is updated .. Still no updates from KC.. Hmmm ..

Complain:

CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-mk kernel_image 
kernel_headers modules_image

Lacks note of that it requires root privileges( ifthe kernel was located in a directory which the user had permission to mess around in), and there is absolutely no information on what it did. How is this good documentation or a good howto? At the least make a spoiler which tells what it did do!

General question: Where does the .deb actually end up? There is no .debs located in my source dir or in /usr/src, why?

all of the command in this thread are doing by super user
u could read it at "sudo -s " command

a nice thread, thanks for always updating it.
However , there's a few question that i would like to ask regarding compiling kernel.
after doing it , why the /lib/module/kernel_that_has_been_made always have size bigger ,much2 bigger than the modules made by linux image from repository?
does't it mean that it's less compact and not efecient?
thank you

make
make menu/xconfig
Does these need sudo? Not at all, just if you are outside of the ~/ dir.

And i found the awser, the .deb is placed 1 step over the location where you compiled. So instead on ~/src/LinuxX.xx.xx it is placed in ~/src.

It depends on how much you build into it. Mine runs at last modpost 324 modules in and 25 Megs(5.7 MB .deb) unpacked image.

Has anyone tried the new BFS patch from CK?

Yep, it's quite nice for a desktop system. I'm using the bfs 203 patch with 2.6.30. If you try it then be sure to follow his instructions regarding the kernel configuration and I highly recommend using the autoiso-xorg patch too.

I haven't tried the 211 patch for 2.6.31 yet.

Thanks. Can you tell me how to install it. Am on 2.6.31/JauntyAMD64. Thanks
