| 08:12 | suihkulokki> | Artox: there are indeed, quite a few steps in making the kernel package |
| 08:12 | suihkulokki> | Artox: and d-i is even worse :( |
| 08:15 | suihkulokki> | Artox: generally the steps for kernel after git clone |
| 08:16 | suihkulokki> | ./debian/bin/genorig.py ../path-to-linux-stable-git-checkout |
| 08:16 | suihkulokki> | fakeroot debian/rules orig |
| 08:16 | suihkulokki> | fakeroot debian/rules debian/control |
| 08:17 | suihkulokki> | nice dpkg-buildpackage -a arm64 -P=cross,nopython,nodoc,pkg.linux.notools -d -B -j18 |
| 08:19 | suihkulokki> | where the first two commands build the orig.tag.xz matching the kernel version - can be skipped by dowloading existing tar from debian archive if exists |
| 08:19 | suihkulokki> | third command generates debian/control file matching kernel version |
| 08:20 | suihkulokki> | and the finally a cross-build command |
| 18:52 | Artox> | suihkulokki: thanks a lot! |
| 18:52 | Artox> | just booted 4.16.0-rc6-armmp on the dove cubox :) |
| 18:53 | Artox> | now I want to figure out if any modules need adding to the udebs. We want mmc, usb and sata to work with d-i |
| 19:01 | Artox> | checked the existing wildcards, and all of those 3 are included in the *-modules packages, perfect |
| 21:35 | Artox> | sooo, I can boot into d-i, yay |
| 21:36 | Artox> | but of course it does not know where to fetch the module packages I built |
| 21:55 | suihkulokki> | Artox: cool :) |
| 21:55 | suihkulokki> | Artox: how much bigger is the kernel with dove arch added? |
| 21:55 | Artox> | idk how much bigger |
| 21:55 | Artox> | but UI can tell you the sizes of what I compiled |
| 21:56 | Artox> | right now I am in the process of documenting how to boot d-i, as in u-boot commands |
| 21:56 | Artox> | then plan is to open a bug about it |
| 21:56 | Artox> | -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 4088320 Mar 23 13:10 vmlinuz-4.16.0-rc6-armmp |
| 21:57 | Artox> | if you have a build of that without dove, you will know how much bigger |
| 21:59 | suihkulokki> | I can get that from the debian archive |
| 22:00 | suihkulokki> | -rw-r--r-- 1 voipio voipio 4084224 Mar 20 15:52 vmlinuz-4.16.0-rc6-armmp |
| 22:01 | suihkulokki> | totally reasonable |
| 22:04 | Artox> | I added the config patch to the bug report about it |
| 22:32 | Artox> | and I have created a d-i bug |
| 22:36 | Artox> | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=894849 |
| 22:36 | Artox> | lets hope that one will shed light on the last pieces |
