Building 2.6.7 kernel on sarge
I've just installed sarge on an x86 machine and have got it basically
working. I selected the 2.4.25 kernel as part of the debian-installer
installation. I'm now trying to compile a 2.6.7 kernel using the
debian-source-2.6.7 package in sarge using kernel-package -- the normal
Debian way of compiling the kernel. I've been compiling kernels for years
now, but this is my first experience with 2.6.
The problem I'm having is that I'm getting a bunch of unresolved symbol
errors when installing the kernel-image deb file. At first I had a whole
bunch of options added to the kernel and I was getting literally hundreds
of unresolved symbol errors. I tried compiling a bunch of times changing
the kernel configuration, but nothing worked. Finally I ripped just about
everything out of the configuration except just basic kernel stuff and
almost nothing compiled as modules. This kernel finally compiled and
installed OK (with dpkg). So then I added back in some modules that I need
and again got a bunch of unresolved symbols when I installed the
kernel-image deb file. A list of these is below.
I've never had this kind of problem with previous kernel versions and was
wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong. I'd
sure appreciate it.
Thanks.....
