 Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2005 8:26 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Making kernel - Problems with filesystems |
 |
|
Okay, I figured this topic best fit here as I'm new to linux, and it's probably something simple...
I just got done emerging the system & gnome, rebooted the computer, had an error with the Filesystem..
went back into the LiveCD, chrooted, went to /usr/src/linux and edited the kernel removing /proc/devfs, and I tried to compile: Got an error involving 'aio.h' -- I googled this and saw it was related to PMCIA cards... i dont use any, so i disabled support for it in the kernel...
I tried to re-compile the kernel again... error with NFS file system.. Okay, I probably am not going to use it anyway... Removed it and tried again...
A problem with another file system.. (network-related)... okay.. I can do without...
And now it has a problem with UDF I think it was..
well i just turned around and retried 'make' to get the error.. and it got further this time...
but is there a possible cause to this problem? my USE flags are rather limited..... gtk / gtk2 / gnome / alsa / dvd / cdr / -kde / -qt.... and this is what they were set at when I compiled gcc...
Did i screw up somewhere to cause these faults? :-/
Any help is appriciated, thanks 
Edit:
SOLUTION -- Problem seemed to be the fact i was still using the LiveCD, and probably compiling things with the liveCD setup it didnt like --- What I mean is, I rebooted into my system (with the first kernel I built before emerging everything)... once I finished setting up I was able to compile with no problems...

USE flags only affect portage (emerge is part of portage btw). kernel compilation is something entirely different, your use flags would only affect that if you screwed up your toolchain (the programs that build programs, including your kernel). I would suggest you do this:
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
cp .config ~/.config
cd ..
emerge -C <kernel-sources>
ls # Confirm they're gone
emerge <kernel-sources>
cd linux
cp ~/.config .config
|
incase you somehow managed to ruin the kernel's source code  could you try posting the errors and your .config, thanks

I also noticed i've been running my laptop pritty hard for the last 2 days, with ~15+ hours of emerges and compiling (I screwed up and went all the way back to stage 1--had bad USE flags (i think), when i compiled gcc... lots of things failed to emerge)
Gonna see if letting it cool down any will help... errors seem to be kinda random, and it did just freeze on me on the last compile... just now noticed that it's -really- friggin hot in the back fan, and on the case near the processor... amybe the p4's thermal protection? -- I never had cooling issues with any of my computers, so would be a first for me...

I take it i'd have to re-do the fbsplash stuff? Speaking of that.. could this have caused the problem:
(In relation to the FBsplash guide at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Manual_Compilation)
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
touch usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz
make bzImage
mount /boot
make install |
I need to run to class, but I'll be back working on this within 2-3 hours I hope -- wasn't expecting super fast responses

yes, you'd have to redo patching. note, IIRC gentoo-sources is already patched with fbsplash. vanilla isn't though. fbsplash could certainly cause those errors, but they should stay the same inbeetween... i'd try it without fbsplash. get your system booting, if everything works readd things in, gently

oh, i used gentoo-sources, didn't know fbsplash came with it...
I don't know how portage works, and if applying that patch when i already had it would cause any issues

Okay, still can't compile...
I rebooted into my own system / not using livecd.. most everything seems to be working fine...
I just cant recompile my kernel anymore... It always gives me a different error (at least when I fix one)..
right now it says:
| Code: | scripts/Makefile.build:328: mm/.msync.o.cmd: Input/Output error
make[1]: stat:mm/.msync.o.cmd: Input/Output error |
tried it twice more, same error (previously, with some errors, it seemed to skip over that file and hit a new error)
