Backup a custom kernel installation...

[uelsk8s]

the modules should be in /Lib/modules/$(uname -r)
To can use "find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name aufs.ko"

[Cariboo]

When I type this command

To can use "find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name aufs.ko"

I get error prompt:

bash: uname -r: command not found

(same for find squashfs.ko)

When I 'cd' to /lib/modules I find two directories:
2.6.22.14 and 2.6.22.19

 

[newt]

perhaps: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name aufs.ko

[uelsk8s]

not sure how or why you are missing the uname command here is my output

uel:$ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name aufs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.25.15/kernel/fs/aufs/aufs.ko

[Cariboo]

not sure how or why you are missing the uname command here is my output

I'm so sorry.... The bloody typo thing hit me ....(uname-r) instead of (uname -r) 

So anyway, there is no output to this command for both aufs.ko and squashfs.ko.

Cariboo,

you need to build those modules for your kernel.
there should be source for them in your /usr/src dir
let me know if you need help with that.

Uelsk8s

thanks for offering help...
You thought me how to configure the kernel using "make menuconfig".
Would this be the command I would have to use?
If yes, what would I have to look for and what would I have to do?

Cariboo

[uelsk8s]

these modules are built outside of the kernel.
I will post the commands to build them below.
You can run them 1 at a time or copy the block and paste it into a script(text file) and run them all at once.

Code:

cd /usr/src/build-kernel-22.19
VER=2.6.22.19
KERNEL=linux-$VER
CURDIR=$(pwd)
TMP=/usr/src
K=$(echo $TMP/$KERNEL | sed -r s/'\/'/'\\\\\/'/g)
cd $TMP
tar -xf $CURDIR/aufs.tar.bz2
tar -xf $CURDIR/squashfs3.3.tar.gz
tar -C lzma449 -xf $CURDIR/lzma449.tar.bz2
tar -xf $CURDIR/patches/squashfs/sqlzma.tar.bz2

patch -p0 < $TMP/sqlzma1-449.patch
patch -p0 < $TMP/sqlzma2k-3.3.patch
patch -p0 < $TMP/sqlzma2u-3.3.patch
cd $TMP/squashfs3.3/squashfs-tools
patch -p0 < $CURDIR/patches/squashfs/mksquashfs.quiet.patch

cd $TMP/$AUFS
cat local.mk \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_COMPAT =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127 =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_HINOTIFY =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_EXPORT =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_AS_BRANCH =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_DLGT =" \
 | sed -r "s/KDIR = .*/KDIR = $K/" \
 | sed "s/CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 =/CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 = y/" \
 | sed "s/CONFIG_AUFS_KSIZE_PATCH =/CONFIG_AUFS_KSIZE_PATCH = y/" >Makefile
make
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/aufs/
cp $TMP/$AUFS/aufs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/aufs/

cd $TMP
cat Makefile | sed -r "s/KDir = .*/KDir = $K/" \
             | sed -r "s/SqFs = .*/SqFs = $K\/fs\/squashfs\//" \
             | sed -r "s/C=1/C=0/" >Makefile2
cat Makefile2 >Makefile
make
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/squashfs/
cp $TMP/lzma449/C/Compress/Lzma/kmod/{un,sq}lzma.ko k/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/ernel/fs/squashfs/
cp $TMP/$KERNEL/fs/squashfs/squashfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/squashfs/

after you are done you can run the find from before and see if the modules are there now

[Cariboo]

Thank you for the instructions...
I started today and got no Errors until this after entering the 10th line:

vector://usr/src
root:# tar -C lzma449 -xf $CURDIR/lzma449.tar.bz2    <--- enter command of the 10th line
tar: lzma449: Cannot chdir: No such file or directory    <--- prompt
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now                       <--- prompt

What is to do           

[uelsk8s]

run mkdir lzma449 before line 10

[Cariboo]

run mkdir lzma449 before line 10

Do I start all over again..?
or just run 'mkdir lzma449'....but being at what location  then?

Also,
it would be interesting to know how to do this in which editor:

...copy the block and paste it into a script(text file) and run them all at once.

[Masta]

Any text editor would be fine. You'll want to make it a shell script by adding

Code:

#!/bin/bash

as the very first line.
Then paste the contents uelsk8s gave you. Save the file, and rename from .txt to .sh

It should look like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/src/build-kernel-22.19
VER=2.6.22.19
KERNEL=linux-$VER
CURDIR=$(pwd)
TMP=/usr/src
K=$(echo $TMP/$KERNEL | sed -r s/'\/'/'\\\\\/'/g)
cd $TMP
tar -xf $CURDIR/aufs.tar.bz2
tar -xf $CURDIR/squashfs3.3.tar.gz
mkdir lzma449
tar -C lzma449 -xf $CURDIR/lzma449.tar.bz2
tar -xf $CURDIR/patches/squashfs/sqlzma.tar.bz2

patch -p0 < $TMP/sqlzma1-449.patch
patch -p0 < $TMP/sqlzma2k-3.3.patch
patch -p0 < $TMP/sqlzma2u-3.3.patch
cd $TMP/squashfs3.3/squashfs-tools
patch -p0 < $CURDIR/patches/squashfs/mksquashfs.quiet.patch

cd $TMP/$AUFS
cat local.mk \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_COMPAT =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127 =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_HINOTIFY =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_EXPORT =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_AS_BRANCH =" \
 | grep -v "^CONFIG_AUFS_DLGT =" \
 | sed -r "s/KDIR = .*/KDIR = $K/" \
 | sed "s/CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 =/CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 = y/" \
 | sed "s/CONFIG_AUFS_KSIZE_PATCH =/CONFIG_AUFS_KSIZE_PATCH = y/" >Makefile
make
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/aufs/
cp $TMP/$AUFS/aufs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/aufs/

cd $TMP
cat Makefile | sed -r "s/KDir = .*/KDir = $K/" \
             | sed -r "s/SqFs = .*/SqFs = $K\/fs\/squashfs\//" \
             | sed -r "s/C=1/C=0/" >Makefile2
cat Makefile2 >Makefile
make
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/squashfs/
cp $TMP/lzma449/C/Compress/Lzma/kmod/{un,sq}lzma.ko k/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/ernel/fs/squashfs/
cp $TMP/$KERNEL/fs/squashfs/squashfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/squashfs/

Save as "script.sh" or whatever-name.sh
Then open terminal and execute it like:

Code:

sh script.sh

I've added the new line for you, sobasically all you need to do is copy the entire code and paste
P.S.
       I dont think you'll need to start over, just start the script, if that doesn't work, then maybe start over.

[Cariboo]

Thank you, Masta,
I got another Error message and I apologize for bothering you again...but I just don't know enough to fix it...

File to patch:

what do I have to do with 'File to patch:'   

It is no bother at all 
Seems to me that the patch missed, perhaps wrong patch version? Anyway, without looking at line 9, I can't help much from there, so I'll pass the ball over to one of the other Gurus

[uelsk8s]

Cariboo,
I am building a new kernel that I would like you to try.
I will post it as soon as its uploaded.
