Hi,
I'm trying to find out what the quickest way to recompile the Kanotix kernel would be. I really like the Kanotix kernel with all its patches, but wanted to enable watchdog (which is disabled - CONFIG_WATCHDOG) since one of my machines running Kanotix sometimes mysteriously crashes (can't ping or get any sort of response or anything in the log files). Any ideas? Thanks for your help. |

(All this as root)
/usr/local/bin/install-kernel-source-vanilla.sh
in /usr/src/linux/Makefile edit the EXTRAVERSION line if you want to give your kernel your own name. Always useful when you have several different Kernels installed.
in /usr/src: make config (for settings which you don't want to change just press Enter. If you know what do to than you can probably directly open /usr/src/linux/.config with an editor and change the needed settings)
in /usr/src: make source (compiles the kernel and builds installable .deb packages, depending from your cpu speed this will take quite some time)
in /usr/src: dpkg -i *.deb
The custom kernel will not include maybe needed external modules (like ndiswrapper etc.). Watch out for answers from more experienced users  |

| Thanks for your reply Crest. But from my understanding, the steps that you showed are for a vanilla kernel. I'm basically trying to get the Kanotix kernel as is (with all the patches) and then making a small modification to the .config file. Am I right in believing that the steps that you provided are for vanilla kernels or are these kernels the Kanotix kernels with all the patches? Thanks for your help. |

| Well, the script downloaded the kernel source and applied additionally several patches so I wouldn't call it really 'vanilla'. I have not looked into the script yet but I think it downloads the source for your current installed kernel version and applies available patches for it automaticly before you can even start configuring it. |

| Thanks Crest. Actually, I had a look at the script and it looks like it adds the Kanotix specific patches. So yes, it looks like it's the one that I was looking for. Thanks for your help Crest. |

Zitat:
in /usr/src: make config (for settings which you don't want to change just press Enter. If you know what do to than you can probably directly open /usr/src/linux/.config with an editor and change the needed settings)
try "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" for a GUI.
Zitat:
in /usr/src: make source (compiles the kernel and builds installable .deb packages, depending from your cpu speed this will take quite some time)
"make-kpkg kernel_image" is prefered on Debian based distris.

Actually fakeroot make-kpkg is preferred and NOT in /usr/src
No need to build as root and no need to do it in /usr/src but the OP seems to already have knowledge of how to build a kernel. |

Atleast for 'make menuconfig' something (some package) was probably missing here, I have only received an error message. Have not tried 'make xconfig'. The 'make source' was taken from the FAQ.

Well, atleast I was building kernels several years earlier (when Kernel 2.2 was current) on some old Suse installation. Back then this process was also pretty fast done, now it takes 2 1/2 hours on my pIII-450 (already with several not needed stuff left out) |

Actually, I followed the instructions but when I came to run:
make xconfig (or make menuconfig)
it would run before exiting with the following error. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

it is no good idea to build the kernel in /usr/src/linux so you login root build it in your home/ login user ! dont edit the makefile without edit the UTS_RELEASE_VERSION
run the ***source.sh in a empty floder, then
make oldconfig
make xconfig to change the set you wont
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=lg1 : kernel_image to build the kernel |
