Compiling a custom kernel. linux-dtb-dev...... is missing


Recommended Posts

I tried to compile a new kernel. It compiles finaly, but I miss the file:

 

linux-dtb-dev-sun8i_**********

 

Instead I see a file:

 

linux-libc-dev_5.27_armhf.deb

 

Anyone has an idea hat goes wrong and how I produce this file?

 

See compilation logs:

I tried not to stress and go for an install of linux-image-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i_5.27_armhf.deb only. This contains the vmlinuz (zImage) file and all the modules. Should be enough. But NO GO....

I boots beyond u-boot and see nothing more like .....booting the kernel

Starting kernel ... booting the kernel.

I saw that with the installation zImage is not replaced by a new symlink to the new vmlinuz file, so I did it by hand. Not sure if this is OK because maybe some magic is happening by the pre and post install scripts of the deb package. 

Looked at why this maybe happend  and I see the packaging patch going wrong:

[ warn ] ... [l][c] packaging-4.x-DEV-with-postinstall-scripts.patch [ failed ]

This means that things maybe go wrong because of this.....

Exactly. This is a patch which adjust / fix Debian packaging process. Debug starts here ... and also it might be related to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO kernel config.

thought I was clever and changed the .deb package. I copied the postinst and made a new:

linux-image-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i_5.27_armhf.deb

This is what I tought it should be.....

 

 

#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Pass maintainer script parameters to hook scripts
export DEB_MAINT_PARAMS="$*"
# Tell initramfs builder whether it's wanted
export INITRD=Yes
test -d /etc/kernel/postinst.d && run-parts --arg="4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i" --arg="/boot/vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i" /etc/kernel/postinst.d
exit 0
if [ "$(grep nand /proc/partitions)" != "" ] && [ "$(grep mmc /proc/partitions)" = "" ]; then
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a "0x40008000" -e "0x40008000" -n "Linux kernel" -d /boot/vmlinuz-vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i /boot/uImage  > /dev/null 2>&1
cp /boot/uImage /tmp/uImage
sync
mountpoint -q /boot || mount /boot
cp /tmp/uImage /boot/uImage
rm -f /boot/vmlinuz-vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i
else
ln -sf vmlinuz-vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i /boot/zImage > /dev/null 2>&1 || mv /boot/vmlinuz-vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i /boot/zImage
fi
touch /boot/.next
exit 0

But agian no changes so the 

 

if [ "$(grep nand /proc/partitions)" != "" ] && [ "$(grep mmc /proc/partitions)" = "" ]; then

is not executed.

 

Editted again and removed that part and only kept:

 

#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Pass maintainer script parameters to hook scripts
export DEB_MAINT_PARAMS="$*"
# Tell initramfs builder whether it's wanted
export INITRD=Yes
test -d /etc/kernel/postinst.d && run-parts --arg="4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i" --arg="/boot/vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i" /etc/kernel/postinst.d

ln -sf vmlinuz-vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i /boot/zImage > /dev/null 2>&1 || mv /boot/vmlinuz-vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i /boot/zImage
touch /boot/.next
exit 0

 

 

created a new Debian package

 

root@orangepione:~/debs-montjoie-v6/work# dpkg-deb --build CREATE
dpkg-deb: building package 'linux-image-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i' in 'CREATE.deb'.

 

 

And installed.

Now the zImage symlink is made. But agian...not booting.

No debug information too....

So...it is getting troublesome.....

 

Would like to solve this because it would give me the freedom to compile a development kernel of my choise.

 

For daredevils... This is my edited install file:

 

http://cdn.macip.net/CREATE.deb

 

And this the unmodified compiled one:

 

http://cdn.macip.net/linux-image-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i_5.27_armhf.deb

If you are using our build scrpit - you already can do that - just use the packaging adjustements we made. And those you did, they look o.k. to me. Well, the kernel branch you are using, might not be bootable? Try first with some stable branch, "known to work kernel". 4.12 and sun8i doesn't look close to fully stable branch.

You are right. I guess the kernel is not booting. It tries to boot but before it can send output it stops. 

I tried montjoie/Linux dwmac v5 and that works. Probably trying version v6 is out of my league.

@Igor

Followed your advise and compiled a well know kernel, 4.11. It worked fine. Then compiled montjoie/linux branch dwmac-sun8i-v6

https://github.com/montjoie/linux/tree/dwmac-sun8i-v6 It compiled fine and gave me the following packages:

 


linux-image-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i_5.27_armhf.deb
linux-firmware-image-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i_5.27_armhf.deb 
linux-libc-dev_5.27_armhf.deb
linux-headers-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i_5.27_armhf.deb         
linux-u-boot-dev-orangepione_5.27_armhf.deb

 

First I installed version dwmac-sun8i-v5 ( my current MacIPpi project kernel). Works fine.

Then I installed all the packages of v6

 

dpkg -i *.deb

Then in /boot removed zImage and did a:

ln -sf vmlinuz-4.12.0-next-20170529-sun8i zImage

Rebooted and YES! Works!
