kernel compile gone wrong.

kernel compile gone wrong.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 702 bytes --]

ok I'm man enough to admit it. I've got a major problem I think.
or at least a minor one I can't sort out for some reason.
I don't know exactly why, but I seem to have a problem with my kernel
compile. I'm trying to compile kernel 2.4.4 for slackware 7.1 and I run
into some trouble when it gets to the vt.o part.
I've attached a copy of my image.log compressed of course to see if anyone
else either has had this problem or knows of a way to figure it out.
I'd appreciate any feed back.
I've been at this all day and I'm about ti give it up for the night.
so I'll go chat on irc or someting else for a bit of a laugh.

Tim,

If the messages were about certain hunks failing, then ignore them.
Theese have no effect on successfully compiling a working kernel with speakup.

Your errors are with incompatible versions of speakup and a kernel I do
believe.  Looks like you tried building current cvs against 2.4.4.  I
don't see any reason why you would want to build 2.4.4 at this point.  I
suggest that you build 2.4.9ac10.  This can be accomplished by getting the
2.4.9 source tarball and the ac10 patch which can be found at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.9/patch-2.4.9-ac10.gz
To patch the ac patch make sure the the 2.4.9 source is in /usr/src/linux
then make a link to this called linux.ac This can be done by 'ln -s linux
linux.ac' from with in the /usr/src dir.  Then from /usr/src do 'patch -p0
<patch-2.4.9-ac10'  Of course this assumes that you already gunziped
it.  Then use the checkout script to apply cvs of speakup.

Re: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Shaun Oliver]

Hi frank. well I've managed to compile kernel 2.4.4 with the current cvs
version of speakup. after much swearing and a bit of talking to a few
people namely geoff, I managed to figure out that 
1. don't use the tar archive of speakup-0.10a and then checkout the cvs
version,
2. always start with fresh source tree and a fresh copy of speakup.
remember those 2 points and we won't have any problems.
I'd download the new kernel sources but at the moment, my isp has been
pretty shitty as far as connections go.
but we'll get there.
now all that's left to do is compile the alsa modules hehe.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

I tried compiling the 2.4.9 kernel without the patch, so you might have
answered my question as well.  However, I'm confused about the "CVS"
reference for SpeakUp.  I've been out of the SpeakUp loop for a while (I'm
running 0.09 under kernel 2.2.16 at the moment).  The only SpeakUp code I
can find on the web/FTP site is a tar.gz.  The installation documentation
that I have seems to indicate that all I need to do is unpack the file into
/usr/src, change to the SpeakUp directory and execute ./install.  It did
occur to me that I might (or might not) need to do the patch as per the 0.09
version.

Dazed and confused - can you advise?

P.S.  Just to show that I'm still a complete newbie, how do I delete a
directory containing files and sub-dirs in one go?

Cheers.

Tim

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Shaun Oliver]

I can. you don't need to get the tar.gz archive.
all you need is the kernel sources from ftp://ftp.kernel.org and then the
checkout script from
ftp://linux-speakup.org .
then you do chmod 755 checkout to make it executeable,
and run it.
after of course you've unpacked the kernel source tree.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

Since you have the speakup 0.10a archive, look in there for a README.cvs
or CVS and read that. It explains a bit more about the checkout process
mentioned above. Like mentioned elseware, do *NOT* put the old speakup
into the kernel source tree.  Use the fresh kernel source before running
checkout.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

I've read the cvs documentation, but I don't have an internet connection
active on my Linux box at this time - my access to my ISP is via a networked
Windows NT box (OK, I know you guys are gonna hate me now - grin!).  This
means, I would guess, that the cvs route is now closed to me until I get my
Linux dial-up issue sorted.  I've crated a new source tree based on 2.4.9
and patched it for ac10, so can I manually patch using the SpeakUp tar ball
as I did for 0.09, or is this really a kiss of death?

Thanks for the help so far folks, just this last hurdle to go and I should
be there with speech on an up-to-date kernel.  If I can get this far then I
can progress to Internet access from this box using my ISDN card and a Squid
proxy.  Should be fun!

cheers.

Tim

I don't understand. A Win NT server on your lan can serve you ip whether 
or not your client machine is linux or Wuindows, or something else. This 
doesn't matter. If you have ethernet in your linux computer, plug it into 
the lan and provide the appropriate data via ifconfig and route.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

It's a Windows NT workstation - if I can configure it to be a proxy without
paying MS a packet, I'd be very interested in knowing how.

Best wishes.

Tim

I don't understand. A Win NT server on your lan can serve you ip whether
or not your client machine is linux or Wuindows, or something else. This
doesn't matter. If you have ethernet in your linux computer, plug it into
the lan and provide the appropriate data via ifconfig and route.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Janina Sajka]

Well, if your NT box is a client workstation on your lan, it still gets 
its ip service from a server somewhere. That's the server that counts.

Now, if you don't have enough physical connections, you may need to get a 
hub. If both the NT box and the linux box are going to be on the lan at 
the same time, you may need your IS folks to allow that--or maybe you 
don't. I don't know what the setup there is, obviously. If they're serving 
dhcp, you can likely just attach, though.

Also, you might want to just physically take the nt box off the net and 
put the linux box on for the current purpose. Simply unplug the one and 
plug into the other. Unless they're checking your ethernet card's mac 
address, this should work.

To get ba k to your point, yes, if your client box is just that, an NT 
client, you aren't going to do masquariding and ip forwarding without 
paying $ to M$ for server modules. But, take heart, your linux box can do 
this for free for you.

Re: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Gregory Nowak]

Shaun's below message assumes of course
that your Linux box can access the internet.
If this is not the case, your stuck with the 0.10a archive of speakup.

Re: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Gregory Nowak]

In order to use the speakup 0.10a tar ball,
You need to downgrade to kernel 2.4.6.
0.10a only works with kernels 2.2.18-2.4.6.

Re: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Janina Sajka]

I think he doesn't need Samba yet. That's for file sharing between a linux 
and NT box. His current problem is a non-networked linux box with no modem 
access. It just seems that using the sneaker net is an unfortunate 
choice--though he hasn't said a lot about his environment. He has said his 
NT workstation accesses the net over a "network" which IO take to be a 
lan.

Re: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Janina Sajka]

Hey, Gregory:

Let's keep it real simple for now. Main problem of the moment is to get 
him connected to the internet. The rest can wait. He want's to compile a 
newer kernel with the newer speakup. I can understand that. So, he needs 
an ethernet card and a physical connection to his gateway plus the logical 
layers/data. Samba and masquarding he can get later.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

Guilty as charged for not providing enough info.  Here's my system:

NT workstation connected to Linux via ethernet (up and running).  I telnet
into the linux box with no problems from the NT machine.  I do have Samba
installed and running and that's how I'm pumping files into the linux
machine - I download onto my NT machine via an ISDN link, then copy up to my
home directory share that samba mounts for me.  I then use telnet to su and
move the files from my home dir into those areas only accessible to root.
All of my kernel compilation attempts, etc. are performed over the telnet
link.

My ultimate aim is:

1 - Linux with an ISDN adaptor acting as a proxy for the rest of the
network;

2 - Linux acting as a learning tool for routing/IP issues.

Hope this helps and thanks for the assistance so far.

Tim

I think he doesn't need Samba yet. That's for file sharing between a linux
and NT box. His current problem is a non-networked linux box with no modem
access. It just seems that using the sneaker net is an unfortunate
choice--though he hasn't said a lot about his environment. He has said his
NT workstation accesses the net over a "network" which IO take to be a
lan.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

I'm having a bad day - I've just sent a message to the list describing my
network and didn't include the Windows 2000 server.  This server runs DHCP
and WINS, but no DNS (mainly because I don't know how to configure it).

I guess I'm suffering from MS-itis - I'm used to wizard-driven installation
where you can make some (semi)-intelligent guesses and get it running.  I'm
finding the Linux thing interesting, but very confusing because it's such a
different way of doing things.

Sorry to be a time-wasting pain in the ass.

Tim

In order to use the speakup 0.10a tar ball,
You need to downgrade to kernel 2.4.6.
0.10a only works with kernels 2.2.18-2.4.6.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123]

Hi, Tim,

     I have a patch for 2.4 kernels made from the 20010917 CVS snapshot of 
Speakup.  I can make a 2.2 version if you need it.  Just say the word and 
I'll send it off.




          HTH.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

I've just tried ./install on 2.4.6 and got a failure, so I'll try anything
once! I'll stick with 2.4.6 and take up your kind offer of the cvs.

Many thanks.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi all,

I got a good kernel compile out of 2.4.6 and SpeakUp 0.10a.tar.gz then blew
it all by getting my lilo.conf entry wrong, I think.  I'm now stuck until I
can borrow some eyeballs to see if I can retrieve the situation.

In the meantime, thanks to all of you who have gritted your teeth at my
incompetence so far.

Hi, Tim,

     I have a patch for 2.4 kernels made from the 20010917 CVS snapshot of
Speakup.  I can make a 2.2 version if you need it.  Just say the word and
I'll send it off.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Shaun Oliver]

well for starters, if you have a boot disk for your original kernel, I
suggest you run it and boot your linux that way.
then carefully look over your /etc/lilo.conf and make the appropriate
changes.
then once you're done, type lilo to reread the configuration file and then
reboot.
if all goes well, you'll have yourself a nice shiny new linux kernel to
play with.

Hi,

Thanks for the idea - I'll make a disk from the image right now and see what
I can do.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

Hi,

I've created a boot disk and a root disk and they work with speech, but I
don't know how to mount my hard drive so I can get access to the files.  I
though it was:

mount / /dev/hda1

but this doesn't work.  Can anybody point me at what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers.

Hi Tim,

Do this:

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt

Then be sure you include the "/mnt" when you access your files. For
instance, your lilo.conf will now be at /mnt/etc/lilo.conf

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi all,

Sorry to be a quitter, but I'm pushed on available time for this project.
I've bitten the bullet and I'm going for a rebuild from original media then
I'll take it around the loop again.

If I had more time, I'd stick at it till I knew how to fix it (a much more
satisfactory state of affairs), but I've a deadline to meet, blah, blah,
blah...

Cheers.

Tim

Re: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Gregory Nowak]

If you created a boot disk during setup, then use that to get yourself into your system.
If not, then you can still grab a speakup enabled disk off the speakup sight,
and boot with that plus a root disk.
If your lilo.conf is all that you modified, then your new 2.4.6 with speakup
is still wherever you left it last for booting with.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Shaun Oliver]

tim.  a way to mount the root partition is to do it from the lilo prompt
that first comes up when you boot your system. when you get to your login
prompt, login as root, and then worry about lilo.

RE: kernel compile gone wrong.

[Holmes, Steve]

No, try this:
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
directory / points to the root file system brought up when you booted the
machine.  /mnt is a directory that already exists with most boot/root disk
combos.  If not found, you can always make a directory by typing
mkdir /mnt
Plus when you boot with these disks, you could use at lilo prompt time, 
mount root=/dev/hda1 assuming your lilo allows for prompting and has a label
called mount.

That's sure a long way around explaining how to mount a drive but there are
so many ways to do the same thing.

well for starters, if you have a boot disk for your original kernel, I
suggest you run it and boot your linux that way.
then carefully look over your /etc/lilo.conf and make the appropriate
changes.
then once you're done, type lilo to reread the configuration file and then
reboot.
if all goes well, you'll have yourself a nice shiny new linux kernel to
play with.
