compiling kernel 2nd time dell optiplex gx1


I'm presently compiling a new kernel debian 5.04 version 2.6.26-2-686 on a dell optiplex gx1. This is my second attempt. The first attempt the kernel wouldn't do make kpkg. This time it's compiling and showing errors, which I can't paste at the present time. Most of the errors I am quite sure that they are not supposed to be included but gconf wouldn't let me change the values I'm not sure that it was due to me doing it on remote desktop the bottom line is that it is compiling this time but it's compiling everything, basically I would have a new kernel,but it would be the same as I have. I"m wondering if
1. Should I boot it to see the outcome just because it compiled?
2. Is it safe to remove from the source directory and start the compiling over?
3. If I do attempt to boot how do I recover the boot configuration that I copied or can you recommend a reference that's upto date?
I really thought the compile would exit with errors, so I was shocked when it continued. On the next one I'll be lightening my load. I only have a 500 mhz cpu with 768m for mem. After it's finished compiling I'll post the errors for an opinion.
Thanx in advance for any input

What are you using a basis to start the compilation. Does your distribution have some basic source package? Are you just going to kernel.org and starting from complete scratch? You might want to at least find a decent .config somewhere.

Also, you can compile the kernel for the 500mhz cpu on another computer. This will speed it up AND you can copy+paste output...

Here is a handy little command that will tell you the output of "-march=native" on the 500mhz computer so you can set CFLAGS on another machine:

Code:
gcc -march=native -E -v - </dev/null 2>&1 | sed -n 's/.* -v - //p'

Where did you get the kernel source from? Ie is it vanilla or does it have Debian patches?
Related to this, what are you using for your config file? For example are you starting with the config file from your previous kernel and then running "make oldconfig"?

Are you doing this 2nd compile with make-kpkg? If so, could you post the exact command?

Anyway if you are worried about the result of the build you can post the log file from the compilation and we can check it.

Cheers,

Evo2.

Thank you guys for responding.
I don't know how long it took for the compililng but at the last message was that it didn't do a makefile because it was the same version kernel that I have already.

The next message was that I wouldn't have so many errors had I have not include the kernel headers.

There were numerous error messages that gave me a great deal of information, just getting as far as I did was a good feeling, but I think I got a little ahead of myself. I believe that I need to spend a little more time with the modules and their functions and how to use modprobe and modconf.
I really need a more detailed reference for the modprobe command, the manpages are very sketchy.

Where did you get the kernel source from? Ie is it vanilla or does patches?

The resources I was using was from sevenl networks
https://www.sevenl.net/blog/how-to-c...ebian-5-lenny/

I used "make oldconfig".

Are you doing this 2nd compile with make-kpkg? If so, could you post the exact command?

I was using the sevenl page for copy and paste operation.

I used my make oldconfig but I don't know how much that helps because I"ve ever gotten my configuration right. It's just the default configuration that I got from another link.

As far as compiling and the time it takes that's not a problem, but to compile on another machine is, only because I'm so new to this. I only recently got my machine to send and receive mail. I still haven't used the irc-chat. I can remote connect to it and control it but I can't transfer files from 1 to the other. I'm working on it though.

I took this snipit from the sevenl page

=> Linux mx 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Thu Mar 26 01:08:11 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

This is what mine says

eddy1:~# uname -a
Linux eddy1 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Thu Aug 19 03:44:10 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
eddy1:~# uname -r
2.6.26-2-686

But in dmesg it shows 2 or more versions.
Also can you take a look at this and tell me how close I am to actually having it setup? As far as the os. Thank you in advance.

While I'm waiting I'm going to try to compile a 2.6.34 or 35 kernel.

I just started my 3rd build this time I used make-menuconfig instead of gconf and was able to make selections on modules network etc. I think I did it. I'll post the results either way.

Are any of these fatal?

I just finished compiling my kernel(with errors or warnings) and was told to post the log. Even though I copied & pasted the warnings during the compile I can't find the actual log from the build. It actually finished the make this time.


Here is a list of some of the warnings that I copied.

Will these errors render my machine unbootable or should I start over? Thank you for your assistance in advance.
