linux5 for rolling

Hi,

Ray report issue of wireless card not work properly with 3.16.55-slitaz64, because firmware was missing.

With SliTaz 6.0 x64, it's work properly.

I suggest to backport linux 5.10.238 on rolling as linux5 package.

Successfully build linux5 5.10.238 but for x64 version issue, failed to build about elf.c issue and cc1 complain about CPU not support x86-64 (but i use 3.16.55-slitaz64 and cross toolchain x86_64).

After ding, need few adjust on my rolling chroot to build properly linux5 x64.

About cc1 issue for CPU not support x86-64, related to CFLAGS used.

Infact export PATH to use cross-toolchain, but CFLAGS remain "-march=i486 ..."

With right CFLAGS, build failed again about elf.c issue, related to

Remove linux-api-headers (3.16.55), install linux5-api-headers (5.10.238)

Remove elfutils (0.161), install elfutils (0.186)

Ensure glibc on chroot is 2.34 (cross toolchain x86_64 need it)

Kernel x64 build in progress.

Need to prepare linux5_64 packages stuff same as linux5 to ensure we have all subpackages available.

Re: linux5 for rolling

Hi,

Repo available here for linux5 (linux5 and linux5_64)

https://people.slitaz.org/~shann/rolling-linux5

/!\ Warn that aufs module don't available, /usr/bin/cook need to be adjusted to use overlay instead /!\

To use it :

- Install cacerts [c]tazpkg -gi cacerts[/c], needed because it's https url

- Add undigest repository

[c]tazpkg add-undigest linux5[/c]

[c]tazpkg recharge[/c]

When ask url of mirror set [c]https://people.slitaz.org/~shann/rolling-linux5[/c]

[attachment=53836,3827]

Need to install all linux5_64 packages as this :

for pkg in "linux5_64" "linux5_64-agp" "linux5_64-chrome" "linux5_64-crypto" "linux5_64-drm" "linux5_64-hfsplus" "linux5_64-input-touchscreen" "linux5_64-mmc" "linux5_64-sound" "linux5_64-wireless" "linux5_64-zram"; do tazpkg -gi $pkg; done

Also [c]tazpkg info[/c] seem don't look on undigest repository

Re: linux5 for rolling

Hi shann,

Good thing!

linux5 32bit installed on my older computer works like a charm; maybe a few seconds longer at boot, but really few, not a problem.

I hope I can test it deeper during the weeks to come.

Thanks for this.

Re: linux5 for rolling

If you like I could test a linux5 kernel on my real 586 laptops as well ;-)

Re: linux5 for rolling

Hi mifritscher,

Thanks, with your message i see i forgot to build linux586 variant on this repo .

Only linux5 (32bits) and linux5_64 (64bits) are available.

Sorry for that, need to run build for linux586.
