Build kernel for 4.1.1, no aufs

[John Swenson]

I'm trying to build a 411 kernel with some different options (realtime and some driver changes). This works and runs fine from a full install. But when I run unleashed on it and do a frugal install with this setup it won't boot. It says it cannot fine aufs.ko.

I looked at the source tree and there is nothing for aufs. The name of the source file from puppylinux.ca includes _aufs_ in the name so I assumed it was included, but it doesn't seem to be there.

An already compiled aufs.ko exists in the unleased files but I'm not sure if I can use that given I'm recompiling the kernel.

Any thoughts on what I should do? Try and find the source or just use the existing aufs.ko?

Thanks,

John S.

You need Aufs from
http://aufs.sourceforge.net/

The version in Puppy 4.1 is from cvs June 25 2008.
You can get this same source code from here
http://puppylinux.asia/sources/BarryKau ... 825.tar.gz

But since you are compiling a non-standard kernel it's not critical that you use the same source code that Barry used, so you can use more recent source if you prefer.

Thanks,
I got the source and got it all to work! I now I have a working frugal install with the new kernel.

I guess I just wasn't expeciting to find a module that was critical to the boot process residing in a file called third party modules.

Thanks again.
