Re: Kernel recompile issues on a SS20

[Rob Wultsch <robert.wultsch@asu.edu>]

Ok I am looking at doing it the debian way and this is what I am seeing

     # apt-get install debhelper modutils kernel-package libncurses5-dev
     # apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18   # use latest version
     # apt-get install fakeroot
     # vi /etc/kernel-pkg.conf                # input my name and email
     $ cd /usr/src                            # build directory
     $ tar --bzip2 -xvf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
     $ cd kernel-source-2.4.18                # if this is your 
kernel 	 	source
     $ cp /boot/config-2.4.18-386 .config     # get current config 
as   		default
     $ make menuconfig                        # customize as one wishes
     $ make-kpkg clean                        # must run (per: man 		 
   make-kpkg)
???  $ fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -486 --initrd \
             --revision=rev.01 kernel_image \
             modules_image # modules_image is for pcmcia-cs* etc.
     $ cd ..
     # dpkg -i kernel-image*.deb pcmcia-cs*.deb # install



Should i replace -486 with sparc or should I type it in verbatem?
