The Linux kernel is an ingenious piece of software and I’m pretty confident in compiling it by myself since quite a while – so I was trying to step up the game by doing debian packages. But now as the Kernel supports LTO, it’s time for me to give it a spin. But to be honest, useful documentation […]

Working my way to automatic kernel builds
It’s pretty obvious, that me maintaining the debian kernel repository which I announced in this post is a lot of work as I offer up to 4 flavors – which are ‘vanilla’, ‘vm’ and both for the gentoo patchset, I had to improve my setup. First of all, the introduction of ccache did shave off a few seconds […]
ccache on kernels
As I am building debian packages of recent kernels, I have to build the same thing over and over again – pretty much three times to be exact. Once for ‘vanilla’, second time for virtual machines and third time for gameservers using the gentoo patchset. If you check back on my post about ccache on gentoo you might […]
My own kernel repo
Debian is awesome. Really. I love Debian – but sometimes the well-aged kernel is a tad too old for me. Currently it’s about fstrim and as I’m already doing my own Gentoo-Kernel for Debian, I had to do it properly and build an upstream ‘vanilla’ kernel too. What I dislike about my current setup is having to install […]
Building a Gentoo Linux Kernel on Debian
Debian is a solid Linux distribution with nearly nothing to complain about besides its well aged software. And in my case this ‘nearly nothing’ was more about the nearly than the nothing as due to the old kernel, fstrim didn’t do its job. So I decided to build a new kernel. But as I am running Gentoo on […]
Kernel Blues?
You know, thanks to Intel’s little ‘design flaw’ in its CPUs and all of that buzz going on, we’re forced to patch around a little. This time, the linux kernel bails out *– * AR /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/libsubcmd.a * CC /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/libstring.o * CC /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/str_error_r.o * LD /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/objtool-in.o *make[2]: execvp: ./sync-check.sh: Permission denied *make[2]: *** [Makefile:49: /usr/src/linux-4.14.12/tools/objtool/objtool] Error 127 *make[1]: *** […]
