Linux2.6.18 Kernel Compilation

A Environment

Virtual machines: VMware Workstation6.5

Operating system: CRUX2.2

Compile kernel: linux-2.6.18

File transfer: ISO image mount

Two Body

1. Installing CRUX2.2

1.1 Download CRUX2.2 ISO image: Http://crux.nu/Main/Download

1.2 Create a virtual machine for the linux2.6x kernel and set the hard disk to the IDE format

1.3 Creating partitions, formatting, loading partitions

create Partition Fdisk/dev/had

Command explanation: n creation; a set startup disk; t specifies the partition type; p lists the current hard disk partition; d deletes a partition; W saves the exit.

formatting partitions

1 mkfs.ext3/dev/hda12 Mkfs.ext3/dev/hda3

Loading partitions

1 mount/dev/hda3/mnt2 mkdir/mnt/boot3 mount/dev/hda1/mnt/boot

Swap space

1 mkswap/dev/hda22 swapon/dev/hda2

1.4 Installing the source code

Run command Setup, Grub#0.95-4 is selected by default in select package to install, followed by bootloader using Grub launcher.

1.5 Switch root directory, command: cd/mnt/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.6/

1.6 Mounting related directories

1.7 Modifying the file system configuration file/etc/fstab

Command: Vim/etc/fstab

Modify the situation as follows.

1.8 Configuring Kernel Options

1 cd/mnt/usr/src/linux-2.6. 15.6 2 make Menuconfig

In Device Drivers---> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support---> select all the IDE-related options to compile into the kernel (in order to provide supported IDE hard drive).

In file Systems---> Select all the options for EXT3 (format the hard drive into ext3 format, integrate the drive into the kernel), as specified in.

1.9 Compiling the kernel

1  Make 2 cp arch/i386/boot/bzimage/boot/vmlinuz3 CP System.map/boot/system.map

1.10 Installing bootloader

Configuring GRUB

1 cp/usr/share/grub/i386-pc* / /boot/grub/2vim/boot/grub/menu.lst

The configuration of the corresponding Menu.lst is as follows.

Installing GRUB

1 Grub 2 grub>  root  (hd0,0)3 grub>  setup  (hd0)  4 grub>  quit

1.11 Reboot Restart

CRUX2.2 Installation Success

2. Mount the ISO image of the linux-2.6.18 kernel

2.1 Get linux-2.6.18 Source: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

2.2 Editing linux-2.6.18.tar.gz as an ISO image

2.3 mount an ISO image, such as.

3. Save the kernel compressed file to the/USR/SRC directory and unzip the

1 CP linux-2.6. tar.gz/usr/src2 cd/usr/src3 tar–zxvf linux-2.6. tar.gz–c/usr/src.

4. Configure Kernel Options

4.1 Entering the/usr/src/linux-2.6.18 directory

4.2 Make Menuconfig specific steps with 1.8

5. Make compile kernel step with 1.9

6. Configure/boot/grub/menu.lst to change title to Linux (2.6.18). Reinstall Grub, step with 1.10

7. Reboot restart

Linux-2.6.18 Kernel compilation succeeded.
