Dave asked me to ping when sparse got updated. 0.4.1 is built, [78] updates should get pushed RSN. This presumably works with the kernel source again.

Adding a pointrelease option to the spec
by Chuck Ebbert 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

This might be useful for people building their own kernels: --- kernel.spec 12 Nov 2007 22:05:50 -0000 1.237 +++ kernel.spec 13 Nov 2007 17:05:39 -0000 @@ -12,7 +12,16 @@ # that the kernel isn't the stock distribution kernel, for example, # by setting the define to ".local" or ".bz123456" # +# You may also add a "pointrelease" with or without the "buildid" +# so that your locally built kernel gets a version number that +# is higher than the kernel it is based on and lower than the +# next offical Fedora release. +# #% define buildid .local +#% define pointrelease .1 +%if 0{?pointrelease} +%define buildid {pointrelease}{?buildid} +%endif # fedora_build defines which build revision of this kernel version we're # building.

help! My re-compiled kernel always got crashed in a machine with scsi/sata disk
by Feng Xian 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Thanks for all your help. I ran into another problem. My 16-core machine has a scsi/sata disk. I have enabled all important features related with scsi and sata. I built 2.6.23 kernel on this machine. But the kernel always got crashed randomly. Sometimes it couldnot even boot, reporting some random errors, like "segment violation, sleep for 40 seconds", or "Group volume VolGroup00 uses lvm2 metadata: read-only", then jump to a strange login window that I cannot log in using my root password. Another thing is that Linux works perfect if I installed Fecore Core 7 on this multi-core machine with scsi/sata disk. Why it didnt work if I used re-compiled kernel. I guess it is because I didnt config kernel right (although I enabled all important features related with scsi/sata) in "make menuconfig". If you happen to know how to enable scsi/sata features correctly, please let me know. Thanks! Below is my grub.conf related to 2.6.23 kernel. # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.20) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.20.img

How to build smp kernel
by Feng Xian 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Hi, I had a 16-core machine and tried to build a smp version of linux-2.6.23 kernel. I did the following steps: 1. make menuconfig ( actually I didt change the configuration since it builds SMP support by default) 2. make; make modules; make modules_install; make install But the final image file is vmlinuz-2.6.23, not vmlinuz-2.6.23smp. Is this final image a real smp kernel? If not, do i need to apply patches. Thanks! Feng -- Addr: 1025N, 23rd str, APT 33, Lincoln, NE, 68503 Phone: (402)310-9826 WWW: cse.unl.edu/~fxian

Dear Sir/Madam, I am looking for a patch or a new code for Fast Ethernet Controller physical driver located at drivers/net/e100.c, Linux kernel 2.6.23, with Large Send Support(TCP Segmentation Offload), adaptor: Intel PRO/100 M,82551QM. I wonder if you know such driver exist and where to obtain its source code. Thank you to read my email, Am Kara. PS.
