Good morning all, I have two problems (that are debian related). 1.
I need to automatically applying a kernel
patch to the sources at build-time (make-kpkg). 2.
I need to build custom kernel
modules at the same time The intent is to generate a VERY customised kernel installation
for internal use in the company I work for. We are already able to build and deploy a custom configured
kernel build from either ‘debian’ or ‘kernel.org’
sources, and been manually (scripted really) building our custom modules and
adding them to the kernel-image debian file by unpacking, inserting and
re-packing the .deb. This DOES work but seems KLUDGY. The recent
need to apply a patch to one kernel module has caused me to want to clean up
the process somewhat. I have attempted to nut out the ‘—added-patches’
& ‘—added-modules’ options for ‘make-kpkg’ –
but these seem specifically targeted at (pre)existing patches/modules, and I
wish to generate my own. Any and all help appreciated PeterT :-> PS: RTFM resulted in numerous
attempts at building custom kernels but no ability to automatically apply local
patches, nor build custom modules. STFW
resulted in MANY, MANY references to the same documents and procedures that RTFM
found. I
have installed module-assistant – this didn’t help much – it just
keeps saying ‘fred, what is fred?’ CONFIDENTIALITY
