Absolutely but distributions also build kernels for us so if we're lazy we don't have to do anything but just install some sort of package. The get-compat-kernels takes advantage of this fact and lists a way to let us get all known supported kernels from Ubuntu's PPA repository that has mainline kernels. That is, these are kernels from mainline without any Ubuntu jazz on it. > I'm not > even sure I know how to replicate the above process in Fedora, since > we would only have kernels available from a given release in each > release's repository. The Ubuntu PPA was special, it was put in place to help users tests kernel issues on a mainline kernel without any ubuntu jazz when there were concerns that perhaps the issues on bugzilla.kernel.org may have been cause by some of the deltas. The scripts can be explanded to use general kernels though: diff --git a/bin/ckmake b/bin/ckmake index 4d45fb9..3b49347 100755 --- a/bin/ckmake +++ b/bin/ckmake @@ -34,8 +34,11 @@ case $LSB_RED_ID in done ;; *) - echo -e "Unsupported distribution" - exit + for i in $(find /lib/modules/ -type d | sort -n -r); do + if [[ -d $i/build/ && -f $i/build/Makefile ]]; then + KLIBS="$KLIBS $i" + fi + done ;; esac diff --git a/bin/get-compat-kernels b/bin/get-compat-kernels index 07ac17b..9bb9f39 100755 --- a/bin/get-compat-kernels +++ b/bin/get-compat-kernels @@ -148,7 +148,14 @@ case $LSB_RED_ID in get_ubuntu_kernels ;; *) - echo -e "Unsupported distribution" - exit + echo -e "Using your available kernels.
