If you have no experience in installing a new Kernel please refer to the KernelNotes section. |

!Kernel 2.6.x |
| |
|

|
| |
|

Assumes the lids package is installed in /usr/src/lids-{version}-{kernel-version}, and the kernel source is installed to /usr/src/linux-{kernel-version}. The examples will assume kernel 2.6.0 and lids 2.0.3 for 2.6.0. |
| |
|
10 |
|
| |
|
11 |
* First ensure you have a working installtion of the 2.6.x kernel that you wish to add the LIDS patch to. |
| |
|
12 |
* Patch the source of the 2.6.x kernel with the [LIDS] patch |
| |
|
13 |
|
| |
|
14 |
% cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.0 |
| |
|
15 |
% patch -p1 < /usr/src/lids-2.0.3-2.6.0/lids-2.0.3-2.6.0.patch |
| |
|
16 |
|
| |
|
17 |
* Configure the lidstools package |
| |
|
18 |
|
| |
|
19 |
% cd /usr/src/lids-2.0.3-2.6.0/lidstools-0.5.1 |
| |
|
20 |
% ./configure KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.0 |
| |
|
21 |
|
| |
|

* Install the lidstools package |
| |
|
23 |
|
| |
|
24 |
% make |
| |
|
25 |
% make install |
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
* Enter your [LIDS] password (Don't forget this) |
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|
29 |
* Configure the 2.6.x kernel (make config|menuconfig|xconfig) and enable [LIDS] |
| |

* As with any kernel upgrade ensure you have a backup kernel that can be loaded in the event of a failure. |
| |
|

* Build the new kernel |
| |
|

% make modules_install |
| |
|

* Setup the [ACL]s for your [LIDS] installation (/etc/lids) |
| |
|
47 |
|
| |
|
48 |
% cd /etc/lids |
| |
|
49 |
|
| |
|
50 |
check the files: lids.ini, lids.net, lids.*.cap, lids.*.conf |
| |
|
51 |
|
| |
|
52 |
* Install the new kernel |
| |
|
53 |
|
| |
|
54 |
Don't forget to update your BootLoader (GRUB, LILO, or other) to be able to load the new kernel. |
| |
|
55 |
|
| |
|
56 |
* Test the kernel |
| |
|
57 |
|
| |
|
58 |
% reboot |
| |
|
59 |
|
| |
|
60 |
* Load the LIDS module |
| |
|
61 |
|
| |
|
62 |
% modprobe lids |
| |
|

|
| |
|

After having updated the Kernel you may encounter problems with certain processes when starting or shutting down your system. These problems will be relating to the mounting and unmounting of your partitions, and adjusting the clock. Most of these problems lie in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. |
| |
|
71 |
|
| |
|
72 |
Here's a sample configuration used to setup your default LIDS values. |
| |
|
73 |
|
| |
|
74 |
!Problem - error writing to /var/log/dmesg |
| |
|
75 |
|
| |
|
76 |
rc.sysyinit:818: dmesg -s 131072 > /var/log/dmesg |
| |
|
77 |
|
| |
|
78 |
Either comment out the line which updates /var/log/dmesg in rc.sysinit, apply the patch to the dmesg source available [here|http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/] (util-linux-XXX/sys-utils/dmesg.c) or allow bash to modify the file. (I opted for the dmesg patch - GerwinVanDeSteeg). |
| |
|
79 |
|
| |
|
80 |
rc.sysinit: dmesg -s 131072 -f /var/log/dmesg |
| |
|
81 |
|
| |
|
82 |
!Problem - writing to /var/log/ksyms* |
| |
|
83 |
Just comment this out for now until a fix is found. |
| |
|
84 |
|
| |
|
85 |
!Problem - writing to /etc/mtab |
| |
|
86 |
The way to do this is to replace the /etc/mtab file with a symbolic link to /proc/mounts. |
| |
|
87 |
% rm -rf /etc/mtab |
| |
|
88 |
% ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab |
| |
|
89 |
And then going through your initialization scripts (rc.sysinit) and modifying all mount and umount commands and adding the "-n" option, which will tell mount to not update /etc/mtab. You may then also get errors about being unable to mount a filesystem due to it already being mounted. |
| |
|
90 |
|
| |
|
91 |
rc.sysinit:570: action $"Mounting local filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs -O no_netdev |
| |
|
92 |
|
| |
|
93 |
replace with |
| |
|
94 |
|
| |
|
95 |
rc.sysinit: action $"Mounting local filesystems: " mount -a -n -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs,sysfs,proc,devpts -O no_netdev |
| |
|
96 |
|
| |
|
97 |
!Problem - updating /etc/adjtime |
| |
|
98 |
See sample configuration |
| |
|

!Problem - turning of filesystem quota's on restart, cannot stat() /dev/root |
