3.5-rc1 Already..
Linux kernel version 3.4.1 was not out yet, but there is a 3.5-rc1 already.. Compiled and installed, and the existing (patched) VMWare 8.0.3 installs and runs OK, and the latest NVIDIA driver (295.53) installs cleanly.. $ uname -a Linux rglinux 3.5.0-rc1 #1 SMP Mon Jun 4 13:33:33 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Now – to see … Continue reading →
Two Days, and Counting…Fail..!
The Raspberry Pi is still chugging away, compiling the entire OpenELEC XBMC stack… Hopefully – as absolutely everything is compiled from source – the performance will be (relatively) good… After running for over 3 days, the compilation failed when compiling /lib/libsquish/libsquish-native.so: g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-msse2’ This may possibly be an error caused by Fedora … Continue reading →
Self-Compiled XMBC, on the Pi..
Now that I have Fedora 17 running OK, I will try the XBMC stuff… There doesn’t seem to be a complete ‘image’ available yet, so I have got the git repository code from OpenELEC, and (just for fun) am actually compiling it all on the Pi.. Seems to be (roughly) as quick to compile as an old … Continue reading →
Another Essential Kernel Config..
Another kernel configuration option that used to be just that – optional – but is now essential for ‘newer’ Fedora systems.. If you see Error unpacking rpm package glibc-common-n.n-nn.xxxx error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/libexec/pt_chown: cpio: cap_set_file On some yum/rpm updates (with httpd, as well) this can cause the actual update to fail, but yum/rpm … Continue reading →
Leapfrogging 3.3… to 3.4rc1
Kernel 3.4rc1 is out, and appears to be the new ‘mainline’ version, according to the website at www.kernel.org.. 3.3 is not even mentioned, any more..! I just updated two of my systems (x86_64) to 3.4rc1, and everything seemed to be working just fine (see Update below..).. There are already fixes available for VMware and NVIDIA to work … Continue reading →
Compiling the Pi Kernel.. My Way..
This is how I compile ARM kernels. There are other ways of doing this, but this works, for me.. First – I should mention – Read the Wicki! This is at http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Hub After getting the ‘forked’ kernel I then had to obtain a suitable config file, which included the necessary extra items for the Pi Broadcom chipset.. … Continue reading →
