How To Compile the new 2.6.16 kernel from kernel.org

[oxEz]

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

anyone have this same prob??

Don't go in Devices Drivers first, go in "Block layers". I looked in the .config file, and it's where I learned where IO schedulers were hidden.

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

Richte kernel-image-2.6.16-cks3 ein (kiwiv1) ...
Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.16-cks3
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von kernel-image-2.6.16-cks3 (--install):
 Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 2 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 kernel-image-2.6.16-cks3

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

Is that directory exists? /lib/modules/2.6.16-cks3

the .deb file creates a dir called 2.6.16-cks3kiwiv1. i tried removing the kiwiv1 and reinstalling the .deb, that works, but if i reboot, modprobe complains about not finding the modules...
strange thing

[sYs^]

try something like this:

cd /boot/
sudo mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-cks3 2.6.16-cks3kiwiv1

Do not rename the module directory after compiling the kernel.
I'm not sure it'll help but it worth a try.

This is my problem when I build 2.6.16.2:

make-kpkg -initrd --revision=2 kernel_image
.......<some things>.....
kernel/sched.c: In function ‘sched_init’:
kernel/sched.c:6031: error: ‘array’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/sched.c:6031: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
kernel/sched.c:6031: error: for each function it appears in.)
kernel/sched.c:6031: error: ‘struct runqueue’ has no member named ‘arrays’
kernel/sched.c:6032: error: ‘k’ undeclared (first use in this function)
make[2]: *** [kernel/sched.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.2'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2

I'm newbie and I see number 6031 ... How can I solve them? Thanks.

Well I managed to get it running this time but I dont have splash (didnt read the post later about how to get it) and my wireless doesnt work. Is there a way I can get splash working without re-compiling?

Do you really need the usplash ? Anyway look under troubleshooting for a way to get the wifi to work.

[R3linquish3r]

i like usplash wanna know when something fails to load personally.

[R3linquish3r]

i dont think that way wil help me because u still need to download the headers for that kernel in uname -r. im not on the net on that kernel.....

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.

Yes I thinks It is that !
Thanks you, I will retry !
