make-kpkg kernel compilation issues
I am using Debian Lenny kernel version Linux-2.6.21-2-686. I have been using Debian and Debian based distros for a while now, and kernel compilation has always been something I wanted to get into. I figured bootsplash would be an excellent tweak to start with =]
I began following the instructions located at http://foo-bar.dk/7/12/ and the only time I strayed from that guide is when it told me to get the bootsplash patch from http://bootsplash.de/ (returned a 404 : page not found) I realized from my own research it's now in the repos, so I preceeded to Code:
apt-get install linux-patch-bootsplash Code:
cd /usr/src/kernel-patches/diffs/bootsplash Code:
apt-get install linux-source-2.6.21 Code:
make menuconfig back to a prompt here's the catch when I go on to the next step Code:
make-kpkg modules_image Code:
Longcindia:/usr/src/linux# make-kpkg modules_image It looks like a shell script, why or how I'm not sure (this is my first kernel compilation project) It does say however done at the bottom, should this be ignored? please help/advise -- Salvatore Nuzzo |
I do not see where you actually downloaded any modules so there are no modules to compile you do not need to do the modules_image step you should just install the kernel-image-??? and kernel-headers-??? packages that should be in your /usr/src then reboot into the new kernel to see if you got a working bootsplash from your efforts.

hmm, alright
So I went ahead and installed my newly compiled kernel, and it came up with the following errors. It seems even though I have installed the bootsplash package in the Debian testing repos, as well as bootsplash-theme-debian, it seems the configuration script couldn't find the splash command, or my splash theme. Is there anything I can do to point either or both in the right direction? Code:
Longcindia:/usr/src# dpkg -i *.deb |
