Kernel compilation

Hello

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed running kernel 2.6.35

I have to compile a kernel with some changes and tried the same with 2.6.36.

Instructions followed :

/boot listing after the process
abi-2.6.35-22-generic memtest86+_multiboot.bin
abi-2.6.35-24-generic System.map-2.6.35-22-generic
config-2.6.35-22-generic System.map-2.6.35-24-generic

Am I missing any step here.

Please help
Thanks.

Forgot to make or install the modules?

Nope, Im sure i ran
make modules
make modules_install

Fixed this issues
Ran this command
update-inintramfs -c -k 2.6.20

Source : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...es-dep-335214/

Instead of doing manual installs, I build installable kernel packages using

Code:

make menuconfig



NICE="nice -n 15 ionice -n 7"

SUFFIX="myown"



$NICE make-kpkg clean && $NICE fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=1 --append-to-version=-$SUFFIX kernel_image kernel_headers

The packages will be saved in the parent directory.

In the kernel image package the source and build symlinks will point to your build tree instead of the /usr/src/linux-.../ directory (where the headers are saved at if installed), but I just fix them after installation if/when installing any external kernel modules; I haven't bothered to find the fix yet. The nice and ionice I use to reduce the CPU and I/O priority, so that building a kernel won't affect anything else I might be running.

Hope this is useful to you,
