First time build of a linux kernel and it worked!
I used 3.9 stable from Linus Torvalds git repo found here:
:: Code :: git://github.com/torvalds/linux.gitBuilt it using these instructions for debian found here: www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s06.html.en <fixed links: techadmin> And it works! First time up! How easy that was! My machine boots faster too! Sweet! Back to top |

Excellent, glad you got it working :).

Even I have managed to do that, following directions, which is saying something. It's surprisingly easy to do as long as you turn off the brain's gray matter and just read the steps and do them. Not something I'd want to do routinely but it's nice to know it's possible to do should it be necessary. Thanks also for posting the links that showed you how to do that so others can give it a try if they want to dip into that world.

Well, that brings up a question now though....
What optimizations do you use? 3.9 works but I do get errors about parsing usb something or other at boot up... My usb devices all work so I am not sure what those errors are about... I was trying to instal your 3.8 kernel and got a number of errors on version .10 on install.... broken pipe and such... :: Code ::

My first build of 3.9 used configs in 3.2 kernel... Back to top |

the https in debian didn't work I fixed it to be http. git isn't a link, it's a thing for setting up git, so I put that into code block.

It's not really the kernel that is failing to install, but some dkms package failing to compile. What's the output of
:: Code :: dpkg -l | grep dkmsIf you want to revert to a version of liquorix that worked, you may try to find cached packages on /var/cache/apt/archives: :: Code :: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/*liquorix*Back to top |
