compiling kernel error

[Nemesiz]

I am trying to compile 2.6.32 pve kernel from scratch but it stops at:

cp -a iscsideb iscsi-scst/debian
cd iscsi-scst; export KVER=2.6.32-4-pve; dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -us -uc

unpatch - from where it appears

You need 'quilt' to build:

# apt-get install quilt

Thanks. Now another problem:

#update-pciids
cp /usr/share/misc/pci.ids pci.ids
./create-initrd-dir 2.6.32-4-pve
unable to find firmware: keyspan/usa49wlc.fw kernel/drivers/usb/serial/keyspan.ko
error exit
make: *** [initrd.img-2.6.32-4-pve] Error 99

 

[dietmar]

Please use the pve-firmware package from the pvetest repository:

# wget ftp://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/lenny/pvetest/binary-amd64/pve-firmware_1.0-9_all.deb
# dpkg -i pve-firmware_1.0-9_all.deb

Ah it doesn't helped.

I started to look in linux-2.6_2.6.32-22.diff and i found macvlan patch. So i just borrow iproute (20100519-3) from Debian squeeze and now i can use "ip link add link <phys> name <vif> address <mac address> type macvlan mode (bridge|vepa|private)".

 

[Nemesiz]

Are you using someone prepared linux-2.6_2.6.32-22.diff or its your own? Seems like macvlan.c patch must be patched in another way. If I create one macvlan - everything is just fine. The second macvlan has a problem with arp. Google send me to http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2009/09/01/58

This is from the standard debian kernel (If you want to work on that you should contact the debian kernel team).
