There is the original script by Iguleder and then 01micko, which I have altered. I added my own time stamp, there was already $TODAY, I didn't add it to modules.sfs because at the end of the script they are moved to a dir with $timestamp which goes to the minute and takes care of multiple compiles in one day without overwriting. If the kernel source.tar.bz2 or .sfs package is overwritten it doesn't matter, only the kernel version is important.

Has anyone else noticed the strange events at www.kernel.org ???

Having completed the unattended kernel kit - the latest kernels are labelled thusly 3.19 and 4.0-rc1 ... The script can be tricked to accommodate then naming for kernel and aufs. But now it needs an update! Funny that! Sods law!

[stemsee]

Here is 4.0-rc1 kernel and modules. But no aufs. And I haven't tested yet because I don't have a full install to test it on. It should be ale to load a rufwuuf style virtual full install in initrd for boot to ram. Oh it is 64bit.

here is 3.19 with aufs, 64bit, tested. Verbose boot.

Hi Stemsee

I notice when I look inside your kernel-modules.sfs for 3.18.6-pae and 3.19 that they only have the /lib directory whereas the kernel packs produced by 666philb have lots of other directories.

Can I drop your kernels into woof-ce puppies like tahpup and slacko6beta just by renaming the kernel-modules.sfs appropriately - or is there more to do?

Grateful for any guidance you can supply.
Thanks
peebee

Hi peebee

the /etc dir holds DOTconfig-kernel-version
the /boot dir holds system.map
/usr/include for headers
and /lib holds firmware and modules
/usr/sbin /bin for aufs related components.

I compiled them manually... I just dropped them in place, and they are running. I haven't tried compiling with them or running apps which depend specifically on those kernel headers. I can supply the patched sources.

Unicorn was part of the last kernel I compiled. oops!

real time clock (rtc) run ubuild.sh then at first option enter 888, then at kernel config choose 2 make menuconfig. Then update settings to fix.

Ohh!

I
think I'm starting to get the hang of your build system. I merged the
/proc/config.gz from fathouse-retro and JL64 under 3.18.5 for a new
DOTconfig-64, edited build64 and version patch to suit and dropped into
Dist/sources the k3.18,8 package & aufs with Sukk.8. Everything went
well, and the new kernel, modules and sources popped out in about 56
minutes.

Still won't run chromium-sandbox. I thought it might be in the memory
allocation, but not (chrome puts everything you've been doing into the
swap drive and proceeds to fill your memory till it's used to the point
of snapping). Still searching through 6,000 lines to find the
difference (why it works right out of the box with fathouse k3.16.2, but
not any of the newer kernels I've compiled with your builds.

I'd stay with k3.16.2 but there's a lot it won't do or gets wrong, and
that won't do.

Thanks,

ps., it's not that I want the fancy browser, but a lot of folks do, and
I'm not going to be the one who tells them they can't! Hell, I've
already done three impossible things this morning.

And in case anyone's interested, here is the customized config for k3.18.8:
