Porteus Kernel Builder

[beny]

hi neko the kernel build goes fine with the 5.15.0-rc1, say no to the warning treated as an error i have build this kernel with a lot of config build well but no modules folder so also the ntfs3 driver wait a bit start the building without this and you can add later:
bash-5.1# uname -a
Linux beny.home 5.15.0-rc1-beny #1 SMP Tue Sep 14 18:24:15 CEST 2021 x86_64 AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
bash-5.1#
neko, the directory 5.15 in your last system upgrade do not exist,inside the mkernel,i have downloaded the standalone one work in progress.....

With OV.PORTEUS-XFCE-5.0rc3-k5.15-rc1.iso my laptop can´t even go to init 3 - nothing to see.
Intel T8100 with Intel i915 graphics - never had any problems .., module i915 is loaded ...
When booting with "nomodeset" everything is okay .

Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by neko #84125)

And it ,that was built without the patch (overlay mode),
was booted
but not started on Porteus nor APorteus.

---->

was booted & started on Porteus or APorteus with boot parameter "nomodeset".
(that is the advice from @ottone)


Thanks.

SPM was updated to speed up its process.
There are 2 kind module types that have ".xzm" sufix.

1. Directory type module ".xzm"
and
2. (Compressed) Squashfs filesystem type module ".xzm"

There are Directory type module ".xzm"s in "STORAGE" directory.
If you need Squashfs filesystem type module,
select 'MODULE' in 'Select a repository' ,
select the specific module in STORAGE
and then
Push download button.
You can get Squashfs filesystem type module of the specific module in "CURRENT" directory.


Note:
If you need "Firefox",
you can get its recent version easyly by GUI tool "Get Addon Packages".


Thanks.

[beny]

hi neko thanks for the hint, but i can mksquashfs only one file not the merged directory maybe i am wrong, one time you have put the merged directory not compressed in modules folder the next boot you have the software ready to use,btw without the changes option,ok good work

The latest stable 5.13 version of the Linux kernel is: 5.13.19 (EOL)

1. AUFS patch (AUFS_VERSION "5.13-20210906") for 5.13.19 is "Restricted"

2. "Restricted" AUFS patched 5.13.19 is abort at build.

3. 5.13.19 built without AUFS patch is well run on OVERLAY-FS mode.


Thanks.

"Kernel Builder" was updated to version 21.10.06. (Please refer to the first article.)

["make localmodconfig" was introduced as a build option.]






Select one of
none compile,
compile with prototype config,
compile with your set own config,
compile with your PC config.

Example: kernel 5.15-rc3 (64Bit)
1.compile with prototype config
vmlinuz: 5,703,392
000-kernel.xzm: 101,576,704
total size: 107,280,096 (107 M)

2.compile with your PC config ("make localmodconfig")
-----> This kernel can be used on only the PC that was used at build.
vmlinuz: 5,615,040
000-kernel.xzm: 71,852,032
total size: 77,467,072 (77 M)

Kernel size was 28% down.

About "localmodconfig", please refer to

Note:
kernel 5.15-rc4 will be booting without "nomodeset".


Thanks.

Can you mount it manually?
