kernel compiling in woof-ce

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this. Has anyone built a kernel >= 4.1 with chromeos_laptop.ko module (installed in platform/chrome) that they can post a link for. Thanks.

I sometimes I include chromebook compatibility in kernel compiles, and also android and google stuff!

If no one else takes up the call I will build 4.1.1 with it. But not right now!

Maybe you can simply download sukk or go to github and enter woof-ce > fdrv > download then use the updated kernel kit and learn to build the kernel. I tried it but stopped at downloading aufs! Anyway I will be updating SUKK to include any improvements from fdrv|kernel-kit. Maybe 666philb included chromebook.ko in 4.0.4-pae kernel.

yes the 4.0.4 kernel does contain chromeos_laptop.ko & chromeos_pstore.ko however there may still be other chromeos stuff missing http://ftp.nluug.nl/ibiblio/distributio ... r/kernels/ if you discover other missing stuff let us know so that they can be added

cheers

stemsee - where can I download the latest version of SUKK. In this thread on page 9, I see a link for SUKK-1.5. Yet in later posts you also mention SUKK-1.7 and SUKK universal. Also are any changes required to be made in SUKK-1.5 for chromeos support; DOTconfig-pae already has CONFIG_CHROME_PLATFORMS=y.

666philb - Tahrpup Kernel 4.0.4 was the first kernel that I tried. It works for older Chromebooks (i.e. Acer 720), when the MODULESCONFIG file is edited to load chromeos_laptop and other related modules. It does not work for newer Chromebooks (such as Acer 910). This is with Slacko 5.6. Apparently a kernel >= 4.1 will work on newer chromebooks; not tested myself.

@Rand

generally in Sukk universal you will need to select option 888 to reconfigure three DOTconfig files consecutively (auto: make menuconfig) and go through the menus to find chrome related settings (can't be more specific at the moment but should be Drivers submenu).

Was able to build kernel 4.1.1. Used the latest kernel-kit and DOTconfig from Tahrpup 4.0.4. Ran into the downloading aufs problem. In build.conf changed aufsv=3.14.40+ to aufsv=4.1. For my limited purposes the new kernel seems to work.

Kernel 4.1.1 32 bit with PAE support. Built using the kernel-kit.

@Rand

I had aufsv=4.1.1 - No wonder it didn't fetch it!

I am running your kernel now. Absolutely fine! Any chance of posting the kernel-sources.sfs?

Cheers!

@stemsee

I haven't tried yet with 4.1, but since there is an aufs4.1 branch you could possibly leave 'aufsv=' unset.

I does work unset with 4.0.x kernels, tried 4.0.5 and 4.0.6 so far.

I deleted the kernel sources for that build. I am posting my latest build below along with its kernel sources (not sure how interchangeable these are) .

Kernel 4.1.1 PAE 32 bit.

Hi Rand

Tested both Version#1 and Version#2 - both seemed fine - also compiled 3 drivers in Version#2 - again all went well.

Just wondering why Version#2 is so much bigger than Version#1 (and bigger than most other Huge kernels that have been posted) - is this because of the chromebook support you have added?

Cheers

Oh! Nice to know .... I will try that out soon.

'aufsv=' worked ok.

The chromebook support does not add much to the size. I could not get some of my hardware to work with my first build. So I tried the Out house sink approach with the second build and included more drivers and kernel modules.

@01micko

An attempt to auto switch aufs servers.
I uncommented both aufs_git lines in build.conf renaming one to 'aufs_git1'

Code: Select all

# new vars
# aufs standalone
# if sourceforge seems unstable use the sfjro url
aufs_git1=git://github.com/sfjro/aufs4-linux.git
aufs_git=https://github.com/sfjro/aufs4-standalone.git

in build.sh 'Download aufs' section I found that double quoting '$aufs_git' in place of hard coded line makes it work

Code: Select all

git clone "$aufs_git" aufs${aufs_version}-$kernel_branch-git$today >> build.log 2>&1
		if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
			echo "Error: failed to download the Aufs sources. Switching server."
			git clone "$aufs_git1" aufs${aufs_version}-$kernel_branch-git$today >> build.log 2>&1
		fi

Any comments?

So my aufs problem seems to be that aufs-util is 4.0 and does not branch to 4.x

I have no idea what is going on with my laptop, but I finally managed to compile 4.1.2-pae on Vivid gcc-4.6.4. After attempting on tahr-6.0.3 and EmSee-Ultra (wheezy) with sukk-universal and fdrv-kernel-kit unsuccessfully several times (aufs-patch wouldn't take).

Here it is with sources and sukk-4 used to build it (a good idea to replace DOTconfigs or reconfigure).
