similar to: kernel compile for i586

I downloaded the kernel from kernel.org. I did the following: cd /usr/src tar -jxf /tmp/linux-2.6.17.3.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.17.3 make menuconfig selected what I needed, saved the new config make bzImage make modules At this point nothing is compiled. All I get is: CHK include/linux/version.h Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST and a command prompt. I did make menuconfig again and it

I am attempting to recompile the kernel with the following steps. Install kernel-sourcecode rpm cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-11.EL cp /boot/config-2.6.9-11.EL .config make menuconfig Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Serial Drivers change Max number of non legacy 8250_NR_UARTS to 36 make bzImage make modules_install make install Then after rebooting and selecting my -custom

Hi All, I am having issue when trying to build a custom kernel in CentOS 4.4. Current Kernel Version is 2.6.9-42.ELsmp and the server is HP Proliant DL380 G3. I downloaded the source rpm and then installed it. Gave the command, rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec. But it throws me an error after patch operations. The following is the error.

hi all, I am attempting to install centos 4.4 on an ebox 2300sx. I start with "i586 text" everything starts up and then I get: No coprocessor found and no math emulation present. How do I get math emulation? THanks Jerry

I have a strange situation. I am using centos 4.6 i586 with alsa 1.0.17 and asterisk 1.4.21.1 (only the console/dsp or soudn port). running centos 4.6 asterisk will seg fault after awhile. running debian edge with the same installed packages it does not seg fault. running x86_64 centos 4.6 and 5.2 asterisk does not seg fault. What might be going on with centos i586 that it is causing asterisk to

I needed more serial ports that the basic CentOS Version 4 system is built to use so I'm using the following kernel build instructions to build the new 2.6 kernel: http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Basic_Server_Configuration:Modem-speci fic_Guidance I believe the procedure is correct but the kernel is not building. I used the "kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.src.rpm file that I found on one

Hi, I've built customs kernels from the SRPMs with the following: rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 /path/to/spec cd /usr/src ln -s /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-x.y.z/linux-x.y.z linux cd linux make oldconfig make menuconfig make all make modules make modules_install And it works just fine. The problem now is that I think installing that way isn't

I installed the kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.src.rpm today and went to build it, but it fails with this error: $ rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec Building target platforms: x86_64 Building for target x86_64 error: Failed build dependencies: unifdef is needed by kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64 I double checked and this appears to be the latest kernel source rpm on centos/5.0/os/SRPMS.

John, Was there a reason for the (2) make oldconfigs? just curious This all worked rpm -i kernel.XXX.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target i686 kernel.XXX.spec cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 make mrproper cp /boot/config-2.6.9-11.EL .config make oldconfig

I've tried to install midnight commander on centos3.1 final. No luck in installing it via yum install. When I download src.rpm from centos2 updates SRPMS I couldn't rebuild it. RPM --rebuild mc*.src.rpm didn't work (no rebuild option). What can I do then ? Best Regards Cooba

Dear all, I was searching for a recent i586 for CentOS-5 in the CentOSPlus repository. Finding none, I decided to try my hands at building one. I have documented the changes made to the stock SRPM for building an i586 kernel on a temporary wiki page: * http://wiki.centos.org/TimothyLee/centos5_i586_patch These instructions have been successfully tested against the 2.6.18-164.10.1.el5

I've just attempted to reinstall my ancient laptop that has Pentium MMX processor. Since it is ancient, I've decided to go with CentOS 2.1. Got stuck, installer claims I need at least i686. Hmmm... I know that 3.8 and 4.4 work without a glitch on i586, so this came as surprise. I even thing original RHEL2.1 might had support for i586 too (but I might be wrong). Anyhow, what

my poor little toshiba libretto (p-120) won't boot with the new 4.7 i586 kernel. i've reverted back to the previous kernel for now. anyone else using the new i586 kernel successfully on old hardware?

Hi all, I have a need to rebuild the gstreamer and gst-plugins in CentOS 7. So I found the wiki for rebuilding a source package... I downloaded the vault.centos.org files, installed them with dependencies. I did the rpmbuild -ba for each of the four packages. All seemed to go well. No errors reported. However - the /usr/bin/gst-inspect* listing shows the files as OLD ls -l /usr/bin/gst-inspect*

Please ignore (and excuse) my previous message - it is incomplete. I'm trying to get R and ESS to work with Xemacs on a newly installed SuSE 9.0 system. Is some setup required beyond installing the rpms? I've installed the Xemacs packages from SuSE xemacs-info-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-el-20030629-37 xemacs-21.4.13-35 xemacs-el-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-info-20030629-37

Are there plans to release kernel-2.6.9-67.0.15.plus.c4.i586.rpm ?? Thanks, Barry

While I know that, technically, the only i586 machines are the Pentium and Pentium MMX, it is still nice that I can use some headless AMD K6/2 machines I have lying around for CentOS 4.

My three basement machines got upgraded to 2.6.9-34.EL by nightly yum cron job. The two i686 seem to be fine. However, on the old i586 machine I got hole bunch of warnings. Haven't attempted rebooting it with new kernel yet. The warnings are: WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.9-34.EL/kernel/drivers/edac/amd76x_edac.ko needs unknown symbol edac_mc_del_mc WARNING:
