 Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:32 pm Post subject: CR-RW prob w/kernel-2.6.10-hardened [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I compiled the kernel-2.6.10-hardened-r3 after I thought I had done a clone config and the CD-RW didn't work as root when I tried to burn a backup. Weird thing was that as user it works fine --to read, at least. As root I used xcdroast and it went through the motions of blanking the media but didn't actually blank it. After that it gave me the 'insert media' error when I tried to write the backup. The CD-RW was in the drive, too. 
What I need is a reminder of exactly how to do the clone config since I seem to have lost where I wrote it down (or perhaps forgot to write it down). Perhaps the kernel was just misconfigured, I don't know .
What I did:
| Code: |
genkernel --menuconfig all
|
...so I could add a few things relative to my box. I also enabled CD packet writing and perhaps that was a mistake. I would like to know how to do make cloneconfig since kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 works great burning CDs. I got no errors when I tried it but it seems to not have worked correctly, either.
Thanks.

I'm not sure how good your results will be doing this, given that you're switching to hardened-sources, but the way to use your prior kernel's configuration with a new one is as follows:
- Copy /usr/src/{old-tree}/.config to /usr/src/{new-tree}/
- After setting up the /usr/src/linux symlink to point to {new-tree}, cd /usr/src/linux
- make oldconfig
Any options that did not exist in {old-tree} will result in prompts asking you what to do. There may be some different way to do this when using genkernel, but I don't use it, so someone else will have to fill you in there if you would rather use genkernel.

I'll give that a shot & see how it goes. I prefer not to use genkernel except for the fact that it does generate the initrd file and installs it along with everything else, whereas make install doesn't create the initrd & install that along w/the kernel, system.map & config file. I emerged mkinitrd some time back but so far have been unsuccessful creating something that works.
<LATER>The bottom line is the CD-RW is recognized by xcdroast. I did a rescan to make certain. I don't know what else I broke in the process ...hopefully nothing.
