custom kernel

[tony]

Hello,

There haven't been many messages as of late and my last question went
unanswered. I hope this one get a reply because it is a show stopper...

I am trying to customise the kernel and rebuild the kernel rpm for my
live CD. As it is destined to run on VIA Epia-M only I want all the VIA
specific option enabled. I have followed the instructions here:
http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/steps.ht...

Does any one have another source for more recent instruction on kernel
packaging?

Cheers

Tony

That looks like a decent source to me.

Sorry for the quietness on this list lately.  The lead on the project has 
stepped away, and we really haven't had anyone step up yet to take his 
place.  We're in a bit of a quiet period right now, it seems.

Some good news: it looks like we'll be getting a kernel with squashfs into 
the Fedora Core pipeline in the near future.

Doesn't work like that with recent kernels... Or there is a step missed
out. I have found another way and built one. Going to boot it and the
next message will be posted from it or...

Shame. Damned interesting project. I am slowly getting to where I want
my LiveCD to be now that I have a kernel I can call my own.

Cool - we all need good news especially today.

OK I have a new VIA Epia specific kernel for my liveCD! It worked.

Still way too quiet...

I need to chat with someone about the mkinitrd script. It is including
the Release: number from kernel.spec after my custom kernel name and
this aborts the build at the end.

It works just fine with stock FC kernels this issue only arises with a
custom kernel. Could someone please tell me what variable I need to
modify in the script?

TIA

Good question.  I ran into this problem myself too.  I think there's a bug 
filed against it in bugzilla.

But again, we lost the lead developer on this project, and until someone 
wants to dig in and take ownership of the code, we are where we are.  I 
will continue to lobby to get someone looking at this in a full-time paid 
capacity.

I asked DaveJ about kernel numbering on the fedora dev list but no
reply...

I dont see your post. Might want to post again if its related to 
development of Fedora and not just a end user query
