Great how to. I've always wondered how to do this
Great how to. I've always wondered how to do this
ok, i did it. after all i must admit that it was only my fault. not linux, not ubuntu.
hour ago, before another kernel compilation, i decided to try another thing. on this thread ive found that maybe i need to add my motherboard chipset driver to /etc/modules (thanks goes to kleeman). i thought that i was only about via chips...
what i did?and added there as first thing to loadCode:sudo /etc/modulesthats all. now it works on 2.6.10, 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels. even on Hoary 5.04 default one.Code:atiixp
thanks all people here, especially tseliot that did not let me down even once. your howto did not solve my problem exacly but it showed me how to compile kernel in general and forced me to read loads of documents about kernel and general linux tweaking / configuration. you are the man! thanks a lot again!!

I'm very happy you've solved your problem. And I'm even happier you've learnt lots of things
Something is wrong with my installation.Originally Posted by tseliot
When trying to install the kernel tree nothing happens in /usr/src there's nothing else than "rpm" folder. Why? Please help.

This site has been moved. - We'd tell you where, but then we'd have to delete you.
Have you set all the repositories? if not go to http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ and follow the instructions,
By the way can you post the error (or whatever the output) you got after installing kernel tree?
Thanks for the autor of this guide. I was planning to compile my first kernel the same day this post wad posted, and help me a lot.
For the people who have problems with splashy, is because it must run linux with 1024x768, and when you install the custom kernel, in the grub, he doesn't have the vga=792 option so edit boot/grub/grub.conf file and put vga=792 and the end of the kernel line.
This is mi example:
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-custom root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet splash vga=792
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-custom
savedefault
boot
Thanks for the information.Originally Posted by Skatox
Is there any other requirement for splashy, I mean something to be enabled during kernel compilation in order to make it work?

Great newbie howto
I followed your howto to the letter.
Unfortunately I get an error on number 6...
This is what i get (sorry, some words are in dutch, but the important errors are in English, i hope you understand it )Originally Posted by tseliot
I think it has something to do with the fact i switched some HDDs last month, and /dev/hdc6 is now /dev/hda6 and one variable needs to be updated. But I have no CLUE where & how to change that (i'm a newb ), can someone help me out here?cyberkef@CyberTrax2000:/usr/src$ sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.10-cyberia_10.00.Custom_i386.deb

THX in advance guys
Check your /etc/fstab (and post it) in this way:Originally Posted by Cyberkef
Open Terminal or Konsole and type in the command line:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab (or "sudo kate /etc/fstab" if you use KDE)
Make sure no "hdc6" is in the file. If you find it put "hda6" instead of it.
Then do (in the command line)
sudo apt-get update
And try to install the kernel again.
Thank you very much!Originally Posted by tseliot
