Update the kernel of Porteus v3.1

Here is a place for your projects which are not officially supported by the Porteus Team. For example: your own kernel patched with extra features; desktops not included in the standard ISO like Gnome; base modules that are different than the standard ISO, etc...

hi Ed_P maybe the network device section on neko kernel is build like modules so you can recall via modprobe,i have see if i use a huge config in porteus-nemesis the system don't boot,so i have used the brokenman slim config and it work.try if this is possible via modprobe,you can see the modules in the lib/modules/modules.dep

My normal 3.1 LXQT system with a 3.x kernel supports my network config ok on my netbook. I'll try the modprobe on that and see what it shows.

@beny and @Ed_P

If you get a good result,
would you tell me the method by which the good result was gotten ?

I will follow it at next update.
I want to make this tool better.

Excuse me for there might be many issues caused depending on my poor skill.

Thanks.

beny with Porteus 3.1 LXQT on my netbook modprobe -c is hundreds of lines long. Which ones are you looking for? And with the 3.x kernel nor the 4.3 kernel I have no /lib/modules/modules.dep file.

-edit-

I do have a /lib/modules/3.14.15-porteus/ folder with 3.x and I suspect the 4.3 kernel system has something similar. I also see in the /lib/modules/3.14.15-porteus/kernel/drivers/net/wireless folders drivers that support the network on my netbook. I suspect one or more of them is missing in the 4.3 kernel's matching folder.

I see a very long modules.dep file in the /lib/modules/3.14.15-porteus folder. Is this what you were referring to?

hi, in modules.dep you have kernel/driver/net have the ethernet,wan and wireless driver for a lot of device so you have to know yours and modprobe this module, you can search in:/lib/modules/4.1.10-zen/ok this is mine.

Is there a way to compare the list of driver files in 3.x with the list of driver files in 4.3 to see what doesn't match?

When updating a kernel can the driver folders from the base kernel be copied to the new kernel and then the new kernel's drivers superimposed upon it? The thought being any old drivers not updated would still be available in the new kernel.

no only the firmware, the driver follow the kernel release so you can't use a mix of two kernel modules,porteus have the hardware detection tool if i remember well so you can detect your net device and compare it with the modules list,ok is a boring task,but before the downgrade of kernel,you can do a try.

Well I try it with this "upkernel-3.18.25-noarch-1.xzm" and "Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso" and I will build on a thumb drive and get back.

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

@ neko I went to Porteus System Info the current kernel still shows 3.17.4-porteus and upkernel to 3.18.25. Which one is right? Did it do the upgrade or did I do something wrong?

I followed your operation.

$ su 
# activate upkernel-3.18.25-noarch-1.xzm
# upkernel Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso
# ls -1
Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso

UP.Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso.md5
upkernel-3.18.25-noarch-1.xzm
# mloop UP.Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso 
# ls /mnt/loop/porteus/*.sgn
/mnt/loop/porteus/kernel-v3.18.25-x86_64.sgn
I booted UP.Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso with the following grub2 menu.
menuentry "UP.Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso" {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 57597f01-0129-4e2f-8c86-fad1aff4a08e
set ISO="/porteus/3.1/64/org/UP.Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso"
loopback loop $ISO
linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=/$ISO copy2ram
initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
I got the screen shot of the "Porteus System Info" on the running UP.Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso.
Image

It showed "3.18.25" as above.

I guess that the boot menu might be same as the origin ISO.
Please confirm your UP.ISO boot menu.

Thanks.

I must have created the wrong ISO file and when I redid it I made sure I had the right one. Now it shows 3.18.25-porteus.

When I upgrade to version 4.3.3 what I want to do is rebuild 001.core, 002-xorg and 003-mate to the current packages if I can. I'm not sure how to keep all the Porteus setting like root and guest password and the rest that it Porteus has. For me I want to keep Slackware alive for now so if I can learn how to do rebuild I'll be happy. I know I can use this to remove a package but not sure how upgrade a package.

Code: Select all

    mkdir /tmp/unpacked
    xzm2dir /my/modules.xzm /tmp/unpacked
    ROOT=/tmp/unpacked removepkg your_package
    dir2xzm /tmp/unpacked mynewmodulename.xzm
I have all ready unpack all 3 of them in there own directory all I need to do is upgrade the packages.

This is for me to learn how and just my $0.02 cents

Re: Update the kernel of Porteus v3.1

Post#118 by Ed_P » 03 Jan 2016, 06:17

The 4.3.3 kernel update didn't work for me unfortunately.

The differences between the 3.1 kernel that works for me and the 4.3.3 one is as follows.

My 3.1 LXQT system uses the kernel from the 3.0.1 system because that was the fix fanthom guided me through to resolve the problem of the system not suspending when the lid of my netbook was closed.

I used the Porteus System Info applet to display the Kernel on each system and saved each report to the system's /home/guest/ folder then copied the two .tmp file to the 3.0.1 /home/guest/ folder and ran the diff command on them with the results shown below.

As can be seen there are modules in 3.1's 3.14 kernel that aren't in the 4.3 kernel and visa versa. If the missing 3.14 modules could be somehow added to the 4.3 kernel I think things would work. Unfortunately how to do that is beyond my skills.

Re: Update the kernel of Porteus v3.1

Post#119 by neko » 03 Jan 2016, 17:45

@Ed_P
If you have a chance, please try to convert OK kernel(3.0.1 system) conf to 4.3.3 conf.

Please refer to the 'COMPILATION AND USAGE OF CUSTOM PORTEUS KERNEL'
http://www.porteus.org/component/conten ... ernel.html

====================================================
1. preparation
linux-4.3.3.tar.xz
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel ... 3.3.tar.xz
upkernel-4.3.3-noarch-1.xzm
http://www.mediafire.com/download/0ap6c ... arch-1.xzm
000-kernel.xzm
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/archive/Po ... kernel.xzm
Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-x86_64.iso
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/current/Po ... x86_64.iso
manjaro-xfce-15.12-x86_64.iso (1,537 M)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/manjarolinux/

2. get 'OK kernel(3.0.1 system)' conf
on 'OK kernel' running environment.

Code: Select all

% su
# modprobe configs
# zcat /proc/config.gz > v3.0.1.config
3. set data
2 partitions are used.

3.1. set manjaro-xfce-15.12-x86_64.iso
example:
partition UUID:7825790e-6578-4c89-b3c6-d275facc89f2
directory:/your-set-directory
grub2 entry
menuentry "manjaro-xfce-15.12-x86_64.iso" {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 7825790e-6578-4c89-b3c6-d275facc89f2
set ISO="/your-set-directory/manjaro-xfce-15.12-x86_64.iso"
set partiuuid="7825790e-6578-4c89-b3c6-d275facc89f2"
set mlabel="MJRO1512"
set archi="x86_64"
set dri="free"
loopback loop $ISO
linux (loop)/manjaro/boot/$archi/manjaro img_dev=UUID=$partiuuid img_loop=$ISO misobasedir=manjaro misolabel=$mlabel nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=1 radeon.modeset=1 logo.nologo overlay=$dri showopts
initrd (loop)/manjaro/boot/$archi/manjaro.img
}
3.2. set 'preparation data'
example:
partition: /dev/sda3
directory:/your-work

Code: Select all

% cd /mnt/sda3/your-work
% ls -1
000-kernel.xzm
Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-x86_64.iso
linux-4.3.3.tar.xz
upkernel-4.3.3-noarch-1.xzm
v3.0.1.config
% mloop upkernel-4.3.3-noarch-1.xzm
% cp /mnt/loop/usr/local/share/upkernel/Kernel.v4.3.3-1/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz .
% cp /mnt/loop/usr/local/share/upkernel/Kernel.v4.3.3-x86_64-1/porteus/kernel-v4.3.3-x86_64.sgn .
% cp /mnt/loop/usr/local/share/upkernel/config/get.aufs4.3.patch .
% uloop
% ls -1
000-kernel.xzm
Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-x86_64.iso
get.aufs4.3.patch
initrd.xz
kernel-v4.3.3-x86_64.sgn
linux-4.3.3.tar.xz
upkernel-4.3.3-noarch-1.xzm
v3.0.1.config
4. compile on manjaro-xfce-15.12-x86_64.iso running environment.
4.1. boot manjaro-xfce-15.12-x86_64.iso live
after boot,
set network and change to (/dev/sda3) /your-work directory.

4.2. get 'auf patch', patch auf, update config, compile

Code: Select all

% su
# ./get.aufs4.3.patch
# xz -dc linux-4.3.3.tar.xz | tar -x
# ls -1
000-kernel.xzm
Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-x86_64.iso
aufs4.3.patch
get.aufs4.3.patch
initrd.xz
kernel-v4.3.3-x86_64.sgn
linux-4.3.3
linux-4.3.3.tar.xz
upkernel-4.3.3-noarch-1.xzm
v3.0.1.config
# cd linux-4.3.3
# patch -p1 < ../aufs4.3.patch
# cp ../v3.0.1.config .config
# make oldconfig
# make
answers for 'make oldconfig' are your choices.

4.3. get vmlinuz, lib

Code: Select all

# cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage ../vmlinuz
# make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../
# make firmware_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../
# cd ../
# ls -1

v3.0.1.config
vmlinuz
5. create kernel 4.3.3 Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-x86_64.iso on Porteus environment

Code: Select all

% cd /mnt/sda3/your-work
# su
# mloop 000-kernel.xzm
# mkdir new000
# cp -a /mnt/loop/* new000/.
# uloop
# rm -fr new000/lib/modules/

Thanks for step by step on how to do kernel. It's been a while since I last compiled kernel. :)
