紀錄一下怎麼自己升級Kernel。
Now, go to the folder where you downloaded the kernel and move the file linux-2.6.38.3.tar.bz2 to the new location, to do that run:
sudo mv linux-2.6.38.3.tar.bz2 /usr/src/
Extract the file:
cd /usr/src/
sudo tar jxvf linux-2.6.38.3.tar.bz2
Now let’s gain a little time. Let’s import the kernel settings we are currently using:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.38.3
sudo cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
We are almost ready to compile the kernel. Open the kernel menu settings:
sudo make menuconfig
The command above will open a window inside of the shell. Select the menu item called “Processor type and features —>” and after “Processor family —>”. Choose your processor. In my case, my notebook is a Core i5, I chose the option “Core 2/newer Xeon”.
After run the command sudo make menuconfig, If you receive the error below:
*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
*** required header files.
*** ‘make menuconfig’ requires the ncurses libraries.
***
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
***
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
Still In the shell, type:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
After that, run the command sudo make menuconfig again.
Clean up temp files from a previous compile attempt (skip if necessary)
make-kpkg clean
Compile your Kernel
time fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-tweak kernel-image kernel-headers
You can change -tweak to anything you wish
Install your Kernel
cd ~/src
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.38.2-tweak_2.6.38.2-tweak-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.38.2-tweak_2.6.38.2-tweak-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
Reboot
