Compile the kernel load driver in UbuntuLinux

First, use the following method to compile the kernel of UbuntuLinux: Compile the kernel and driver: Install the sound card and video card driver: (optional) # apt-getinstallalsa-source (it may be recommended to install kernel-source-2.4. ** select not to install this kernel-2.4. ** this command will generate an alsa-driver.tar.bz2 file in the directory. # Cd/usr/src # tar

First, compile the Ubuntu Linux kernel using the following method:

Compile the kernel and driver:

Install sound card and video card driver: (optional)

# Apt-get install alsa-source

(It may be recommended that you install kernel-source-2.4. ** and choose not to install this kernel-2.4 .**)

This command generates a alsa-driver.tar.bz2 file under the directory.

# Cd/usr/src

# Tar xvjf alsa-driver.tar.bz2

This command will generate the alsa-driver directory under the/usr/src/modules directory

# Dpkg-reconfigure

(Select the sound card on your machine)

Because my video card is nvidia, I will only introduce how to install the nvidia driver.

# Apt-get install nvidia-new-kernel-source

# Cd/usr/src

# Tar xvzf nvidia-new-kernel-source.tar.gz

The nvidia-new-kernel directory is generated under the/usr/src/modules directory.

# Cd/usr/src/linux

# Make-kpkg clean

# Fakeroot make-kpkg -- initrd -- append-to-version =-core2-smp

-- Rev. = 1.0 kernel_image modules_image

Note: The initrd option is used to generate initrd. img. The other-core2-smp and 1.0 can be any other string.

If everything goes well, the command will generate three deb files in the/usr/src directory after it is completed,

Kernel-image-2.6.17-ck1_1.0_i386.deb, nvidia-kernel-*****. deb and alsa-*****. deb

Installation:

# Cd/usr/src

# Dpkg-I kernel-***. deb nvidia-***. deb alsa-***. deb

The system automatically installs the kernel, generates the initrd image, and configures the grub menu.
