compiling a new debian kernel

compiling a new debian kernel

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I am wanting to upgrade to the latest version of the kernel.  I have
downloaded kernel 2.6.21.3 and installed speakup using the checkout
script.  I also installed kernel-package as it says in the debian
installation guide.  In order to get a kernel packaged with all modules
and the initrd image created either if the kernel is installed or me
create it before or better yet not needing an initrd at all what is the
best process to follow?  I would prefer not needing an initrd image.  Any
help would be great!

All you really need to do is make config/menuconfig, and then

make-kpkg kernel_image
.

Yes, and if you want initrd then:

make-kpkg --initrd  and for some appendix to kernel name you can use
option --append-to-version SOMETHING.

Hi, Is there a way I can pass the -s option to make during the make-kpkg
process so all of the commands are not echoed to the screen?On Thu, 31 May

There may be a better way, but off the top of my head, aliasing make
should work like so:

alias make='make -s'

Hth.
