Pi to 3.8.1 – Incrementally, as usual..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 28, 2013 by RGFebruary 28, 2013

Just updated the Raspberry Pi from (hacked!)3.8.0 to 3.8.1, by applying the 3.8.0-1 patch at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/patch-3.8.1.bz2 Note that this first incremental patch is in the ‘main’ kernel directory.   Only the subsequent ones (3.8.1-2, etc..) will be in the /incr subdirectory.. The patch applied cleanly, and all seems to be working OK: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) Kernel … Continue reading →

Pi to 3.8.0 – Nasty hacks..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 22, 2013 by RGMarch 1, 2013

I have – after some messy hacking – managed to get the Raspberry Pi updated to kernel 3.8.0.. The starting point was the 3.7.1 Pi code, at https://github.com/Olipro/linux-RPi.    The kernel.org patch for 3.8.0 assumes the code base is 3.7.0, so I had to ‘revert’ the 3.7.1 patch.    The ‘incremental’ patches at kernel.org start with the 3.7.1 – … Continue reading →

3.8.0 is Here..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 19, 2013 by RGFebruary 19, 2013

Just updated my main system to kernel 3.8, which has just been released..     For VMware (9.0.1) apply the patch already described in a previous article for the 3.8-rc series, plus the version.h softlink: # ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.8/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.8/include/linux/version.h The latest ‘stable’ NVIDIA driver – 310.32 – compiles OK, with this kernel version.. $ uname -a Linux rglinux … Continue reading →

3.7.9 – and a Surprise..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 18, 2013 by RGFebruary 18, 2013

Just updated to 3.7.9, but forgot to do the usual ‘softlink’ for correct compilation of VMware.. # ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.7.9/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.7.9/include/linux/version.h I ran the compilation for the the latest ‘stable’ NVIDIA driver (310.32), but discovered that – with 3.7.9 – this failed, as well!     To save time, I had been creating the softlink after compiling the latest … Continue reading →

This site has now been re-hosted, and all should be working correctly!    The design has changed, and you can comment by clicking on the ‘speech bubble’ at the top right of each article.. Back to the important stuff!     I have just updated my main system to 3.7.8, after 3.7.7.. Just FYI, 3.7.7 included quite a lot of … Continue reading →

Pi to 3.7.6 – Incrementally..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 4, 2013 by RGFebruary 4, 2013

3.8-rc6 – Newest ‘Stable’ NVIDIA Driver Compiles OK, now

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 2, 2013 by RGFebruary 2, 2013

Just installed 3.8-rc6 on my test system, and – as for the previous -rc version – the softlink + vmci patch works for VMware 9.0.1.    The good news is that the latest ‘stable’ NVIDIA driver – 310.32 – now compiles OK with this kernel version.. $ uname -a Linux rg6830l 3.8.0-rc6 #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 11:39:56 … Continue reading →
