Compiling Kernel for Dazuko

timmywo · 03-27-2005, 05:22 PM

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install Dazuko on my CentOS 4 (RH Enterprise 4) system. To install Dazuko i must make a custom Kernel with "Linux Default Capabilities as a module".

I have followed instructions from...

http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/202/1/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...icle&artid=170
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-notes-fc2.shtml

I can run make menuconfig and change "Security options --->" > "<*> Default Linux Capabilities" to m (for module).

I then run "make Image" or "make bzImage" or "make all" or "make modules" and all of them produce this error...

Code:

[root@Office-Server 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL-i686]# make all
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
  CHK     include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h
/bin/sh: arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s: No such file or directory
  UPD     include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h
mv: cannot stat `include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h.tmp': No such file or directory
make: *** [include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h] Error 1

Im not sure why it is doing this or where to go to fix this error (this is the first time i have tried to create my own kernel).

I have also tried these commands (before the ones above) "make dep" and "make clean" and "make oldconfig" and "make mrproper" to see if they resolve the problem - but they dont.

Also i have copied and used as my base .config file the one the system creates, located at "/boot/config-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL" but the same problem happens.

Please can anyone help

as i wont to get real time scanning working with ClamAV.

Thanks in advance.

Hi masand,

Thank you for pointing me at that thread, but the same problem still happened.

But i have got it working!

What i was doing was using the kernel source provided with CnetOS, i down loaded the kernel from www.kernel.org and all worked fine! Well... not really true... i had a lot of problem getting Dazuko and ClamAV working - but it is working now

I fill very pleased with myself

Thanks,
Tim
