Kernel Build with kernel-source-2.4.20-xfs:

[TheCyberDude]

NOTE: With this build you have to use orginal .config file in /usr/source/linux/linux-2.4.20-xfs .

ALSO: ONLY use this if you have an fresh HDD install of Knoppix or NO programs compiled!!!!!! If Modem is your only compiled program, no problem. But you will have to re-install it to get it to work.

Download:

http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppi...Custom_all.deb

Go into konsole and su <password> and chmod a+rw /home -R .
(Its read-only)

chmod a+rw /usr/src -R

Launch Kpackage and Install.

su <password>
cd /usr/src

bunzip2 kernel-source-2.4.20-xfs.tar.bz2
tar -xvf kernel-source-2.4.20-xfs.tar

cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-xfs/include/asm-i386/system.h /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20-xfs/include/asm-i386

overwrite? Y

rm linux

ln -s kernel-source-2.4.20-xfs linux

cd linux

make clean
make mrproper
make xconfig

(Don't make any selections!)

BUTTON: Load configuration File
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-xfs/.config (Can use CNTRL V) to patse in

BUTTON: Save and Exit

make dep

make bzImage

make modules (Take an Break)

cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-test
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-test
mv /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs.old

make modules_install

kwrite %U

Open /etc/lilo.config

We want to add another description like your regular boot for Knoppix.

EXAMPLE:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs <--- This is my Boot-Up for Knoppix
label=Knoppix
root=/dev/hdg6 <--- Yours will be different!
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz

image=/boot/vmlinuz-test <--- I added these 5 lines.
label=Knoppix-test
root=/dev/hdg6 <--- Insert Yours from Above!!!
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz

Now we have 2 Boot Promps: Knoppix and Knoppix-test, you may also have one for Windows.

SAVE lilo.conf



From Konsole,

lilo

Screen will return with:

Added Knoppix
Knoppix-test
and any other Boot prompts in lilo.conf

That's - RE-BOOT and load Knoppix-test and go to Launch Control Center and go to System Adminstration - Linux Kernel and you can
see whats enabled in your Kernel.

IMPORTANT: DO THIS!!! (Now or Later) Will EXPLAIN BELOW!!!!

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs <--- This is my Boot-Up for Knoppix
label=Knoppix <--- Rename this Fail-Safe <---
root=/dev/hdg6 <--- Yours will be different!
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz

image=/boot/vmlinuz-test <--- I added these 5 lines.
label=Knoppix-test <--- Rename this Knoppix <---
root=/dev/hdg6 <--- Insert Yours from Above!!!
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz

Move the new Knoppix above Fail-Safe, and Your Boot Screen will
look like this:

Knoppix
Fail-Safe
Windows <--- If you have an Windows Entry.

THE REASON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Since we moved /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs to 2.4.20-xfs.old ,
we want to rename Knoppix-test to Knoppix (It's using these librays!)

For you Expert's: Maybe you can clue me in, if I try:
(NO-ONE DO THE FOLLOWING!)

mv vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs.old
mv vmlinuz-test vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs
mv System.map System.map.old
mv System.map-test System.map

Both Knoppix's boot OK, But the Orginal Knoppix 2.4.20-xfs,
go to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh - It won't open OR will any others. In
Knoppix-test They Will! I expect it has something to do with
mv /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs.old .

That's why I had everbody rename:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-test <---
label=Knoppix-test <--- Rename this Knoppix

and put at top of lilo.conf .

If you want the Kernel-Headers also,

apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.20-xfs

Some Updates,

I just rebuild my kernel again - no problem from my procedure.

Other problen, not associated with the Kernel Rebuild.

THIS IS for newbies, to clear up 3-4 very,very minor parts in Recompile.

1) cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-xfs/include/asm-i386/system.h /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20-xfs/include/asm-i386

This is one line on command line with 1 space between
h /usr/src ..ect

2) Any questions from compiler not listed - ANSWER Y

3) make modules (runs about 20 min on 1400MHZ CPU)

4) Close all Kwrite windows after done editing lilo.config -
so you can do the command lilo .

5) Read the last Example (Closely) so to get it right.

Thats it, I'm up and running on this procedure for a second time. I copyed and pasted from this page - no problems.

Enjoy Knoppix !
