Obese Debian Kernel

Traduction: [ Google | Babelfish ]

Catégories : [ Informatique ]

To run the Maemo SDK on a 64-bit computer, you need to enable VDSO compat in the kernel. To do so on Debian Lenny, you need to recompile the kernel. The problem is that when you follow the instructions, you get a 400+ MB package, because the binaries contain all the debugging symbols. After some time spent in search for the solution, I found it: export INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 before running make-kpkg. This calls strip on the modules when creating the .deb package.

Here's the procedure:

apt-get install kernel-package ncurses-dev bzip2 module-init-tools initramfs-tools procps fakeroot

apt-get install linux-source-2.6.xx

cp /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.xx.tar.bz2 /some/path/

cd /some/path/

tar jxf linux-source-2.6.xx.tar.bz2

cd linux-source-2.6.xx

cp /boot/config-2.6.xx ./.config

make menuconfig

make-kpkg clean

export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2

export INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1

make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=custom.001 kernel_image kernel_headers
