Snag yourself a copy of "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" and start reading on page 47 (well read the whole thing but start on 47 for your issue). This will show you exactly how to find what module is needed for your lan.

The book is free and you can download it.... There is a thread on it here somewhere.

Does anyone know if this capability is default in the 2.6.20 kernel? I suppose I could sift through the kernel source, but I'm having a hard time believing that nobody has attempted to boot the kernel off USB mass storage yet. If the kernel panics because the root partition can't be mounted then the capability is not present and initrd is required.

Incidentally although this capability has been requested as far back as 2003 it was never mainlined. Last year I patched SuSe 10.1 with this capability.

Just this week I successfully patched the 2.6.18 kernel in Debian "testing". The patch is actually much simpler for 2.6.18 than 2.6.16 (SuSe 10.1) because the pertinent kernel code has been cleaned up somewhat. I only wish I would have known that 2.6.20 was on the verge of release.

im sure your not the only one. Linus Torvalds aka god and the rest of the holy devs probably think it is good practice and the practice will help you on you path of assention to becoming a dev.

How did you measure performance? Could you reveal some test results, please?

PS BTW, what configuration did you use for the compilation?

I can answer those questions for thamarok.. I asked him in IRC and here's his answer:

[14:14] <synux> tham, there's someone who wanted to ask you something about Debian.. look here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=53831#53826
[14:16] <th4m4r0k> So, even though I leave the Linux community people still ask questions
[14:17] <th4m4r0k> Well.. ignore the above comment, I don't want people to feel betrayed:
As for benchmarks, you might want to look into http://lbs.sourceforge.net/
My .config file isn't that relevant, because we have different systems and I built my kernel especially for my system, so I have alot disabled/enabled that you wouldn't need..
[14:19] <synux> Cool! thanks tham!

You might want to look at this HOWTO which I posted:

Thank you!
I did not know that he left us...

But I still have one unresolved question:
He mentioned that config does not matter, because of different machines.
But I am suspicious... (May be this is again because of my lack of knowledge.) Could an amount of kernel components in general (number of drivers included in compilation) and an amount of kernel components, which compiled as modules, affect performance? I.e. could small and solid kernel run faster than more generously configured and with lots of 'M'-cofigured parts?
Lets presume that I have enough memory and this is only a question about average CPU load.

synux · #23 Post by **synux** » 2007-02-21 18:24

If you compile most of the stuff as M or Y to add support for more stuff, then the kernel gets bigger and the overall performance might be different..

Thamarok isn't now in IRC so I can't ask him as he knows a lot more than I do.. But I can try to reach him to ask what config he used

Sorry about long post, but kernel up to 2.6.18.3 worked fine with old sarge's udev 056

Note: kernel 2.6.20 Changes specify udev 081

Also, apparently, the ATI drivers are broken in 2.6.20 causing other
bad messages, so I turn off the ATI graphic drivers in kernel config to
get rid of ATI related messages.

Also, 2.6.20.1 Changes specifies udev 081

Only way I know of to upgrade above udev 056 on sarge is to
install udev from testing. However, somebody in testing
must have their brain on backwards.

... Install gdm

Compile the kernel 2.6.20.1 again

why, oh why, did somebody in testing have to remove all my stuff
just to let me install udev? There was no valid reason to attach
so many toxic dependencies to the udev package.

Now I have udev 103 and the system boots in 30 seconds.

Still getting funny business ...

copy in a .config from a working kernel 2.6.18

Did you really think that a 2.6.18 kernel config would work on 2.6.20? There are so many differencies between those kernels, so I'm not surprised that you get a lot of errors...

Here's the config that thamarok used (He sent it to me since long time but I didn't remember to post it here

)
http://rafb.net/p/mYJ8Pf75.txt

EDIT: And if you need to use the latest kernels, I recommend you to use Etch.. as you see your "upgrade" from Sarge to Etch didn't work very good

Cheers,
Synux

I ran 'make menuconfig' so that kernel.org would upgrade my .config for me. I really believe that they know what they are doing.

You are correct. Using the command to upgrade the kernel config is the best way to go, but it can once in awhile cause problems and you may be better off trying to create it from scratch. You may also have chosen a wrong option when you did the upgrade (for the new options that did not previously exist). I cannot help you any further as it has been a few years since I did any kernel hacking.

I had had to re-configure all options by hand before I had a working configuration for 2.6.20 from 2.6.18. I can send you a working config, which is mostly approached to 2.6.18 one. Only things, which I changed are about processor type and features (I have Athlon 64 X2).

Well ... yes, of course a person should expect changes in the configuration state between versions.

Options added, possibly some removed ...

I would have thought kernel.org had enough to do as it is, but if you say so ...

Basically all that is needed is ..

Code: Select all

# Make a backup of your existing .config file

A 'make mrproper' on your sources will clean out all your dot files, including that one.

If you don't have a .config for your running kernel ... look in your '/proc' directory for a file called 'config.gz', that will be it.

The following depends on taste ...

# run 'make oldconfig'

From a term window that will just present any new options, ones that differ from the base .config. It does so in a linear way with no backtrace facility. If in doubt, just key enter to effect the default.

I see its' main usage as being handy to find out just how many new options there are, rather than to set them. It is very handy after having applied a single patch, or two as well, that may provide a couple of extra options, or change a couple of existing one. But usually i don't bother with it.

# Make a back up of the resulting, changed .config that results.

# Then invoke one of the graphical configuration tools such as ...

'make gconfig' <-------- gtk, or,
'make xconfig' <-------- Qt

(or menuconfig if you prefer)

Then explore the tree view display in a leasurly fashion.

You can save at any time and close, reinvoke later to continue, backtrace, spend the time going over the lay out.

You can replace the base config at any time with any file ... if you want.

# Make a backup of the result.

Add an extra string to the 'EXTRAVERSION =' field in the top level Makefile so that you can distinguish between different builds.

Save your existing kernels and make sure they all have boot menu entries.

As long as the options relating to 'module versioning are set, the EXTRAVERSION' setting will be all the kernel needs to find its' relevant module set.

It's supposed to be fun

As far as I know, menuconfig doesn't "update" your config file.. Am I wrong here?

thamarok wrote:As far as I know, menuconfig doesn't "update" your config file.. Am I wrong here?

I am not sure...
But there are some things that menuconfig can do:
1) Loading a config file
2) Displaying all available options
3) Saving the config

As it loads, I expect it to set appropriate loaded options to correct state as it is in the loaded config. It did not complain while loading old config.

As it displays, I explect it to show all possible options for the kernel version, including ones missing from loaded config. I saw these new options in menu.

As it saves, I expect it to save all options that I have seen in menu in config. Is it not so?

thamarok · #32 Post by **thamarok** » 2007-03-10 23:05

Yeah.. then why are some people talking here about something that menuconfig would download a new config from the net? That's just impossible.

That make no sense at all (to me at least)... where have you heard that?

From what I understand, lmo is saying that he ran menuconfig to upgrade the config from the internet

Ok, thanks.
