I think I've fixed it, starting with line 209:

Excellent stuff! So now chrome works properly, right? I have been trying to incorporate popcorn into my own distro, and even trying to upgrade the kernel in Chromecastpup-v3 but chrome always has problems and popcorn depends on chrome (apparently).

So I will change that for all configs and release sukk-1.0 after testing.

sukk-1.0 with DryFalls config edits, small bug fix for aufs download file.

Thanks Stemsee. This link Diseased Newt might explain why syscall/bpf is the key. syscall has to be enabled. Peebee directed me (thanks, Peebe) to the kernel/modules for the fatdog700 final (k3.18.7) which he used in the upgrade of LxPup64 from 14 to 15. Well, it runs lighthouse tolerably well even though I've yet to get fd700 to boot on this machine since the change from k3.16.2 (although virtual machine will boot it!). That is how I extracted the file to compare to my config from JL64-3.18.8. Unfortunately, their config file won't recompile in your kit because of a check built in to detect changes (as near as I can tell) and terminate the compile if found. Seems kind of proprietary to me, but that's just me. Anyway, while the new compile works well in lighthouse, I couldn't guarantee it will work with other distros. For example, I couldn't get LxPup64-14 to boot with it, so please be for-warned. It may not generalize. I'm going to try it in fatdog and see if it will finally boot to a desktop, but at the moment it's not a big priority.

Well, your discovery has solved my chrome and popcorn problems. I have updated Chromecastpup-v3 to 3.19.2-64bit kernel.

NOTE BENE: I had to install the modules with headers to the savefile in order for them to load on boot!! They would not load as an zdrv_*_.sfs !!

So now I will remaster with modules 'in' after deleting old modules.

fingers crossed

64bit with ia32 enabled in config runs all 64 and 32 bit programs when libraries are available. Aslo qemu will let you run 64 bit iso on 32bit system with 64bit kernel.

64bit kernel will recognize and use ram upto 64gb (i think) pae will use ram differently ... jamesbond says it is better to use a 64bit kernel over a pae kernel.

If compiling for 32 bit using 64bit kernel then you must specify arch as 32bit in configure.

I think it's done, and I'm keeping it! Sukk1.0 jut flew through its thing and produced a really nice kernel package. 3.19.2 runs things really well, and from the looks of things, deals better with f2fs (although personally, I'm sticking with EXT4).

All I did to interfere was rebuild the kernel modules to include kernel headers. Even so, Edit-SFS (parallel mksquash using 4 processors) compressed the new file down from 44 to 39M. Kernel sources compressed from 106 to 91M.

Great job. I'm going to write a batch file to start up Sukk1.0 and include it in JL64, if that's alright.

That's alright with me!

Sukk-1.0 is good for single kernel builds at-a-time but not auto consecutive builds. So here is sukk-1.1 and if you haven't got time to waste don't download it yet.

I realised that variable '$arch' was being reused ... Oops! (frickin amateur!)
Also solved consecutive building. And added menu item '888' reconfigure DOTconfigs then build 64 bit kernel. And tidied up a bit.

As usual , I release it first and test it later! Because I am not properly trained!! Not because I want to sabotage your own efforts. I'm just eager to get it out there.

But I will set it to build 3.19.3, 64, pae and nonpae kernels tonight. Should take about 3 hours.

To do :-
1 Add 4.0-rc* handling
2 Add remove non-system specific modules.
