The upgrade worked (with Ubuntu 10.04, to kernel 3.6.2), and my microphone works

again, which was my primary goal.

However, the apt repositories I have now seem obsolete. Any suggestions on how to

configure apt to get updates to the kernel, headers, and drivers?

 As hfaq sha ik h  •  

Well I went for compilation of Kernel 3.5.1 for Debian (LMDE) all the steps I followed as

per your instructions. Although it took 2 hrs for the entire process it was completed with

errors of DKMS Like:

dkms.conf: Error! No 'BUILT_MODULE_NAME' directive specified for record #0.> Error! Bad conf file.

> File:

> does not represent a valid dkms.conf file.

Well I went ahead ignoring this, as the four set of files were in place and after update-

grub, even the header were in place.

But.. When I booted, the 'X" won't come up! instead the text mode asking me to log in

came, and a pop up indicating the X server.xorg need to be in place, even the latest nvidia

driver I tried to install via sh command, wont install after the acceptance screen. Help meout I will not sit comfortably unless I boot with this latest kernel !!

Hi Ashfaq,

What exactly happens after the acceptance screen while installing the Nvidia

drivers? Error message ?

Hi,

I am done with the installation of the latest kernel. Now I have to install CILK but since on

extracting the package it doesn't contain the configure file I cant make and then install it.

Im new to linux so can you please guide me. I know im posting this at the wrong place but

im completely stuck.

I have installed ubuntu 11.04 on my system.

 After this when I used to give uname -r it showed me kernel version as 2.6.38.

Now I had downloaded kernel 2.6.34.12 from kernel.org and installed it using the steps

above.

make

make modules

make modules_install

This created files:

System.map-2.6.34.12

vmlinuz-2.6.34.12

config-2.6.34.12

In /lib/modules also I can see the new kernel 2.6.34.12 folder.

Next to create initrd.img I fired:update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.34.12

Then I checked the grub.cfg and it showed me an entry for 2.6.34.12.

Next I updated grub:

update-grub

But after reboot uname -r still shows me the previous version 2.6.38.

What is the issue and why new kernel version is not installed?

• •

Manivannan  •  

Hi Rupesh,

Your current kernel is newest and stable one, May I know why you are trying to

downgrade the kernel by compiling the oldest version? you can try the compilation

on latest Linux kernel.

Stefano  •  

 After compiling and installing, the freshly compiled kernel doesn't seem to find the device

(with correct UUID, same as used on precompiled kernels) and the system drops a

shell... Any idea?

TIA,

Hi, I want to get the option of booting to one of the desired kernels e.g 2.6 or 3.1 during

startup , not something default . The steps above directly took me to 3.1.5 without any

chance of rebooting to another kernel . Is there a way to attach that option .

• •

Manivannan  •  

Hi Motiur,

Modify your grub and make entry for other kernel(2.6), then set timeout=10.

Hi,

I'm using this method to compile kernel 3.1.2 and getting following error.

Please help me out from this trouble. And let me know what is missing for compiling(for 

make command).

Here is error code.

Hi,

Can somebody explain to me if there are differences, and if so which, between installing a

pre-compiled kernel and compile one with the above mentioned instructions?

I have installed kernels before but always the pre-compiled ones. Now I just wonder will it

make a difference?

Who can help me with this question?

JAI sATHISH  •  

Hi,There is difference between pre-compiled kernel and customised kernel.

In Case of customised kernels,

the kernel can be customised to work for specific hardware and user needs.

for e.g you don't want someone to access the NTFS partition on linux machine..

Hi Erwin,

I am not clear about this errors, Here you are building a new kernel, If you just want

to update the kernel to new one (3.1/3.0.4) then you can follow this guide

www.howopensource.com/.

• •

Manivannan  •  

Or if you want to install the linux-header-3.0.4, you can download it and

install the same way from the above link..

• •

Erwin  •  

Thank you very much, it works now for me. I had missed the above

link.

gosia  •  

Great tutorial. Had problems with kernel for the last few days. Its really helpful for 

beginner. Thank you

Manivannan  •  

Hi Gosia,

Thanks and Welcome to HowOpenSource :)

Hello, according to the dscription, I installed kernel 3.0.4 for ubuntu 11.10

No problems with startup, but I need to have :

ubuntu@ubuntu-Aspire-5000:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut

Status-Informationen einlesen... Fertig

E: Paket linux-headers-3.0.4 kann nicht gefunden werden

E: Mittels regulärem Ausdruck »linux-headers-3.0.4« konnte kein Paket gefunden

werden

> linux-headers-3.04 is not available :-(

and I also see only :

ubuntu@ubuntu-Aspire-5000:~/rtl2832u-new-3.0$ ls /usr/src

linux-3.0.4 linux-headers-3.0.0-12 linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic

any idea ?

Dastagir   •  

i did according to ur way. I in grub menu i am missing linux-3.0. and in my

/etc/defualt/grub there is no grub. and in /boot/ i found grub.cfg, menu.lst and menu.lst~.

what should i do

Manivannan  •  

Hi Dastagir,

Make a menuentry in your grub.cfg file. The menuentry should be like the screen

shots which i have given under "update-initramfs" step.

thanks for ur quick reply. Very good guy. But u said if i unable to findinitrd.img-3.0.0 in /boot directory. then i should run sudo update-initramfs -u

-k 3.0.0. i found them when i ran sudo make modules_install install. so i

didn't run sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.0.0. Though i found all four things

under /boot directory i am still missing grub in /etc/default directory. and

one more thing. i wanna do kernel programming. what are the procedures

or steps. thanks again. god bless u

Hi:

I tried this, but how do I get /usr/lib/firmware/3.0.0 file.

In my last step sudo updatre initrm, it gives errors saying missing firmware.

I hope you are still reading the blog!
