[Voyage-linux] compiling the kernel

[Alvaro Jimenez]

Hi all

Thanks for all your replies,

Darsha:

I've been trying to install voyage and voyage-sdk in my VirtualBox but 
it fails at step 6 (copying files) to the harddrive. I had Vbox 2.0, 
I've upgraded it to 3.02 but still the same problem with both fixed and 
dynamic hard drives. Which version of Vbox and Voyage do you have ?

CHroot it's awesome because I can use the whole power of my machine to 
compile the kernel in the set environment, I really like this method. 
But!, I get the same initial problem, at the end of compilation process 
I get the following error:

dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-2.6.26-486-voyage-486-voyage 
not in control info
make[2]: *** 
[debian/stamp/binary/linux-image-2.6.26-486-voyage-486-voyage] Error 255
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26-voyage'
make[1]: *** 
[debian/stamp/binary/pre-linux-image-2.6.26-486-voyage-486-voyage] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26-voyage'
make: *** [kernel-image] Error 2
PC-Alvaro:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26-voyage#

I got the same error compiling the kernel on the voyage system installed 
on the target machine (geode).

I'm using voyage-0.6.2 and voyage-sdk-0.6.2 and 
linux-source-2.6.26-voyage.tar.bz2.

The only method I haven't tried yet is doing manually compilation and 
copying of the kernel image and modules as suggested by Russell, my only 
problem with this is that usually i get stuck creating a ramdisk and 
fitting all things together. But I'm working on it now...

Any other suggestions ? maybe I'm missing a configuration somewhere, 
what is that control info file ? I haven't found info about that.

Sorry for the hassle.

Thanks again...

Alvaro
