A couple of minor things -- well, maybe not so minor: Top posting, and thread hijacking, won't go over well on most kernel mailing lists. If you're really stuck I'd try to go back to basics and make sure a standard kernel build-n-boot works before trying anything fancier. On an Ubuntu system that could be sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install libssl-dev sudo apt-get install git git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux-rc cd linux-rc cp `ls -t /boot/config* | head -1` .config # or whatever your latest vendor config file is yes "" | make oldconfig make bindeb-pkg >/tmp/make-bindeb.out 2>/tmp/make-bindeb.err which, if all goes well, will leave a deb file in the parent directory with an unwieldy name like linux-image-4.10.0-rc6+_4.10.0-rc6+-1_i386.deb. If you can't build a kernel with the standard linux source repo and your vendor's latest config file then something needs to be fixed before going any further. If the build worked, running sudo dpkg -i linux-image-whatever-the-name-is.deb in the parent directory, and rebooting, should start the new kernel running, as you can check with uname -r. Actually I ran those commands on a Debian Jessie VM but I think the Ubuntu steps would be virtually identical. It is handy to do all that in a virtual environment -- the cool kids use kvm; I use Virtualbox. -- Jim _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
