Author Topic: Build Me An Openzaurus Kernel With Devfs - Please (Read 4645 times)

Hello,

I'm still trying to get gentoo on the zaurus and I'm quite succesful at the moment.
Gentoo boots and gives me a very good impression.
However, gentoo needs devfs and this is missing in the openzaurus kernel.
I tried half a day now to get a 2.95.3 crosscompiler and I'm not very succesful. Not to mention some make-crap and so on.
However, I only want a kernel with devfs compiled in (and perhaps the faster FP-emulation), that is not much work for everyone that was able to compile the openzaurus-kernel ones.
(just doing some menuconfig and run the compile)
I need it for the poodle (xscale).

Please, help me, build that thing and send it to bjoern@ruberg-wegener.de .

Big thanks to the one who helps me.

I can't resist noting the irony of this request

What irony?
I simply don't want to waste ages bringing another crosscompiler up, just fpr doing a small change in the kernel.
I've really enough of such work.

Can't you just emerge a new kernel with USE=devfs?

no.
gentoo merges kernel sources but it does not actually build them.

However, the problem is that I need a gcc-2.95.3.
I cannot get a crosscompiler running and I cannot build one on the PDA because my gentoo installation uses uclibc.
So I am somekind of stuck.

I have done some progress now getting a 2.95.3 compiler working in a chrooted OLD gentoo-1.2.

cant you just grab 2.95 crosscompiler which we use? Read ZaurusKernel in OE wiki.

Jinidog · « **Reply #6 on:** May 21, 2005, 11:08:10 am »

I have the crosscompiler now running.
The problem is, that the kernel I built didn't boot and flashing with the old kernel did not bring it further than the first bootscreen.

I needed to flash the gpe-image, too.
However, where can I get the .config for the openzaurus-poodle kernel?
The defconfig_poodle that is copied by openembedded cannot be the right one, because a font is missing (the kernel cannot be compiled).
And there must be a reason why the kernel I built did not work, although I did not change much more than compiling in devfs.

Since that is the only way we use to compile our kernels, it is per definition the right defconfig. Include some more information on what goes wrong instead of blaming OE for your failures.

However, I do not blame OE, I just thought that this is the wrong file and I want to know where the right one is.
