Linux compile kernel steps and error resolution

1 , view kernel version

Experimental environment

[[email protected] src] #uname-R

2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

2 , installing the graphics dependency package

Yum Install - y ncurses ncurses-devel

3 , download kernel

[Email protected]src]# wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.16.2.tar.xz

Extract

[Email protected] src]# TAR-XF linux-3.16.2.tar.xz-c/usr/src/

4 , compiling and installing

[Email protected] src]# cd/usr/src/linux-3.16.2

[[Email protected]linux-3.16.2]# make Mrproper

Set, save and exit.

End of Theconfiguration.

Execute ' make ' to start of the build or try ' make help '.

Error: Missing BC

[Email protected] src]# yuminstall-y BC

Run again

[[Email protected]linux-3.16.2]# make

equivalent to: make DEP (build dependent attribute relationships), make clean (remove old data), do Bzimage (start compiling core), Makemodules (Start compiling module)

the process will probably 1 , 2 hours.

The reason is that there is not enough disk space to clean up the disk or expand the disk

[[Email protected]linux-3.16.2]# make Modules_install

Install the module to /lib/modules/ to load the module from this directory later when the program runs.

[[Email protected]linux-3.16.2]# make install

Installing the kernel

put Make all generated Vmlinuz and System.map are copied to the/boot directory while modifying grub/boot/grub/menu.lst. Modify MENU.LST without manual modification.

There's been a lot of new stuff. Then there are two error modules we can ignore.

then modify default =1 to be default=0

5 , restart

[[Email protected] ~] #uname-A

About the error:

[[Email protected]linux-3.16.2]# make Modules_install

sh./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 3.16.2 arch/x86/boot/bzimage \

System.map "/Boot"

ERROR:modinfo:could not find module Snd_page_alloc

ERROR:modinfo:could not find module Vmware_balloon

If your CentOS is installed on VMware, you may see this warning at the last make install step:

ERROR:modinfo:could Notfind Module Vmware_balloon

literally, the Vmware_balloon module is not found, and this vmware_balloon is actually called memory release or balloon bloat (see this article "for 2 possible reasons:

First, verify that your. config file contains  config_vmware_balloon=m  this line, or you can use Make Menuconfig go to kernel compile menu, check devicedrivers -> MISC devices, VMware Balloon Driver for M or *

Second, and this module in the later version, has been renamed to Vmw_balloon, so you can use the following command to solve:

Cd/lib/modules/3.x.xx/kernel/drivers/misc #将版本号改成你自己的ln-S Vmw_balloon.ko vmware_balloon.ko #建立软连接

Tips:

If you have a lot of could not find module XXXX error when you last make install, and you do not know which of the corresponding is. config, you can use this command:

Grep-r--include=makefile ' \bname\.o\b '

The above workaround is from: http://winotes.net/centos-64-upgrade-to-kernel-3x.html
