Ah!

I never tested that scenario! The config file is configured for features that are not in the old kernel version, so what happens? Will need to enter source dir and examine .config file. Maybe in this case there needs to be a manual 'make menuconfig' interaction. An option I was intending to implement anyway! I think that when one enables IA32 there appear two or three more options to configure. When it is not set then those lines are no longer in the config file. I should be able to hack it one way or another or even include 3 alternative config files for such a scenario, for old configs, maybe Fd32 and Fd64 configs from kernel kit!

Let me have a think.

Could you send me the .config file from inside the sources?

not sure if the attachment worked.

Here they are edited.

after copying them back to the sources dir open a terminal in there and

1. make oldconfig = recompile entirely

build.bat didn't work even after removing the dos language (rem).

Got the sources fixed but am having trouble rebuilding the modules (remember, I'm totally new at this).

first three lines of xerrors log:

EDIT: Use my script. Then stop it 'ctrl+c' after it says kernel is configured. This must be done to get the kernel sources patched with aufs etc. Then enter the kernel sources dir. Copy the configs i sent in to there. Then open teerminal and type

Here is Stems-Unattended-Kernel-Kit SUKK-0.1

Added option to manually configure kernel.
Change aufsv to match kernel_version for all configs.
Also backs up edited .config from sources with date stamp per kernel compiled.
Fixed logic bugs and tested thoroughly.
Creates tar.bzip2 kernel package for use in woof-ce next.

If no bug is found I pretty much feel this is the release candidate.
Lacks only a gui perhaps.

experimental

Added code to build authentic debian kernel packages!

Building the authentic debian packages requires fakeroot and kernel-package to be installed, however there seems to be no way to test both packages, especially on a deb puppy. Also the old method has a replacement.

A few bugs ironed out:

1) importing variables from build.conf s (kept building 64bit)
2) stop it creating new dist/packages when finished compiling.
3) couldn't find aufs package for build 2 & 3
4) when building only 2 or 3 couldn't find kernel source package.
5) Wrapped test around make clean and make-kpg clean.
6) removed duplicate code for unpacking aufs.
7) reduced multiple instances of mkkernsrc to one.

Here is the final script.

Next to add a gui.

Just when you thought ... !

I left out the patches in 0.5

Added make oldconfig option default. Which ever options is used for the first compile will be carried to the rest.

Hi @stemsee ,
Using sukk-0.6 on FD630 - only the '64' . Attached the log . IF it would be a good try - which are the first steps to do to go on and use the new kernel ?
