[Q] Building additional kernel module

[Chun, Sungjin]

Hi,

How can I build additional kernel module without building entire  
kernel? I've tried building custom kernel but failed - My windows pc  
just reboots if I try to boot with newly built kernel. My first try  
was failed because I've built my kernel with gcc-3.3 which is default  
in debian stable (sarge), and second try with gcc-3.4, I just got  
reboot of my windows machine. What I really want to do is just build  
additional kernel module, not rebuilding of entire kernel.

I'm using colinux-0.6.3. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

You need to unpack the complete vanialla kernel, patch it with the file
patch/linux from coLinux source. Then must copy the file
conf/linux-config as .config into your kernel tree and call "make
oldconfig".  Then you can use the coLinux kernel headers for your modules.

But please don't add any module with direct hardware access.  This would
all times crash your system.

Please read also the file doc/building, section "2. Compiling the
Cooperative Linux kernel".  The latest step "make vmlinux" you not need
for "external module" only compile.

Thanks. I managed to compile kernel :-) What I want to build is fuse like user mode to kernel mode mediation module.

coLinux shouldn't be different than doing it on a real/native kernel.
If you are experience error, or problems, maybe you can be specific
and post those and we can help with that?

Hi.

What I've done before - yes, the failure case - was related to hardware configuration; like changing CPU type to Crusoe, Uniprocessor APIC setting and
MSR and CPUID. After restoring these configuration to original coLinux ones, I can make working kernel.

In most those situations you'd have to make additional changes to the
coLinux code to support them...  ie... coLinux is targetted for an the
generic i686, not for a specific chipset like Crusoe...  It's note got
the Uniprocessor APIC implemented, etc.

HTH,
