Dixi quod… >I guess if it’s like that, I can have a go as well. Did one now, and it boots. It uses initrd now, which means one has to copy-out the initrd every time it is regenerated, but also adds flexibility (root filesystem not ext4fs, root on nfs, nbd, etc). I disabled quite a lot of stuff (like USB, WLAN) that we could, in theory, have (with the NetUSBee or PCMCIA) for now. Also, NTFS and Ceph and several network protocols. My opinion here is: most are modules, but they also add dependencies to the core kernel image, which we’d like to keep smaller. We can always add back things later that people miss in production. I also threw out SELinux/AppArmor/TOMOYO/whatever support. I’d like the m68k people to read the whole eMail and test https://www.freewrt.org/~tg/dp/dists/hacks/dirty/Crossbuilt/linux/linux-image-3.10-0+m68k.1-m68k_3.10.1-1+m68k.1_m68k.deb on all their boxen, at least Amiga/Atari/Macintosh though the image also has BVME and MVME support (no Sun3 or Q40 but that can easily be added ofc). Also, I’d like the m68k people *and* the Debian Linux kernel people to review the configuration, to see whether there are things either can absolutely not live with: https://www.freewrt.org/~tg/dp/dists/hacks/dirty/Crossbuilt/linux/config-3.10-0+m68k.1-m68k >It’s probably a bit tricky getting it into the Debian >source package, which apparently generates the configs >from smaller fragments… I’ll read the kernel handbook >in the hopes to find instructions there (for my own >one-off testbuilds I just put full configs in, but I did put the full configs in, for now. I’ve got no idea how to reliably reduce them, and since I got rid of all the kernel flavours it’s just a few KiB. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3970373 Jul 20 17:10 /boot/initrd.img-3.10-0+m68k.1-m68k Someone seems to have put “set -x” into the initrd, but it boots fine: root@ara3:~ # uname -a Linux ara3.mirbsd.org 3.10-0+m68k.1-m68k #1 Debian 3.10.1-1+m68k.1 (2013-07-19) m68k GNU/Linux root@ara3:~ # lsmod Module Size Used by evdev 6613 0 ext3 96402 1 mbcache 3606 1 ext3 jbd 29270 1 ext3 (This is ARAnyM, so the NatFeat disc/net/… drivers are compiled in; the ide-core and SCSI stuff is put in modules. By the way, this is MODULES=most; is there anything we’ll need for MODULES=dep to work, considering we have modules like ide-core (instead of libata) and HW specific drivers that other platforms don’t? To reduce the initrd size.) So good, so far. An ARAnyM log of the build (kernel messages) is attached. There’s one thing sticking out: [ 0.160000] WARNING: at /root/linux-3.10.1/init/main.c:698 do_one_initcall+0x12e/0x13a() [ 0.160000] initcall param_sysfs_init+0x0/0x1a4 returned with disabled interrupts This seems to happen for several initcalls.
