Kernel Compilation Walkthrough

This script is an example how to kompile the Linux kernel 3.0.0-13. To use an other kernel version you have to change the version numbers.

0. You need the following tools.

     apt-get install fakeroot build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev
   

1. At first you have to download a linux-image.

     versn="3.0.0"
     vers="13"
     ktype="variante"
     apt-get source linux-image-$versn-$vers-$ktype
   

  apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

2. Go into the new Directory and copy your current kernel config file and configurate it.

     cd "linux-$versn"
     cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
     make menuconfig
   

• You have to select the IPv6 multicast routing modul.

    Networking support --->  
      Networking options ---> 
        The IPv6 protocol ---> 
          IPv6: multicast routing (EXPERIMENTAL)
  

3. Generate your own kernel variante and edit some files.

     cp debian.master/abi/$versn-$vers/amd64/generic debian.master/abi/$versn-$vers/amd64/variante
     cp debian.master/abi/$versn-$vers/amd64/generic.modules debian.master/abi/$versn-$vers/amd64/variante.modules
     cp debian.master/control.d/vars.generic debian.master/control.d/vars.variante 
     gedit debian.master/etc/getabis 
     gedit debian.master/rules.d/amd64.mk
   

• In the file gatabis is a line which start with "getall amd64 ...". Add "variante" at the end of the line.

    --debian.master/etc/getabis
    getall amd64 generic server virtual ==> getall amd64 generic server virtual variante
  

• In the file amd64.mk is a line which start with "flavours ...". Add "variante" at the end of the line.

    --debian.master/rules.d/amd64.mk
    flavours = generic server virtual ==> flavours = generic server virtual variante
  

4. Apply the kernel Configuration.

     mv .config debian.master/config/amd64/config.flavour.variante 
     rm -r include/config/
     chmod +x debian/scripts/*
     chmod +x debian/scripts/misc/* 
     fakeroot debian/rules clean
     debian/rules updateconfigs 
   

5. Compile the kernel.

     AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 skipabi=true skipmodule=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-variante 
   

6. Install the Kernel.

       dpkg -i linux-headers-3.0.0-13_3.0.0-13.22_all.deb linux-headers-3.0.0-13-variante_3.0.0-13.22_amd64.deb linux-image-3.0.0-13-variante_3.0.0-13.22_amd64.deb
