Me again. I did the above - appeared to be
straightforward and got the faked sources as required
..but... my compiled loop.o doesn't work this time.
chown -R phil:phil /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26-1-386
\
Copied the .config file for the working 2.4.26-1-386
kernel image into the newly-created
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26-1-386
Then:
cd /usr/src \
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26-1-386 linux \
cd linux \
make oldconfig \
make xconfig \ --> switched off loops, floppy & ide
'y'
Saved & exit
fakeroot make-kpkg clean \
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-noloop
kernel_image \
dpkg -i
kernel-image-2.4.26-1-386-noloop_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
\
Rebooted into new kernel - no problems thus far.
Built loop.o and patched utils as per readme. All
straightforward.
-->New loop.o driver appeared in
/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/block
("noloop" gets chopped off new modules directory name)
Rebooted into original regular kernel 2.4.26-1-386
(which had CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m in its .config)
buT THEN...
make tests fail --> no device /dev/loop7
modprobe loop --> spews a lot of errors looking like
this:
/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/block/loop.o:
/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/block/loop.o: unresolved
symbol blk_dev_Re7da9d9c
I'm sure this is something embarrassingly obvious but ...?
