Tips

Creating patch for RPM

diff -Naur olddir newdir > new-patch
- or -
diff -Naur oldfile newfile >new-patch

rpmbuild with distribution prefix (unconfirm)
- rpmbuild -ba item.spec --define "dist .fc5"
- This only works if "Release:" field has %{?dist} at the end
- To automate for the whole system, can add to /etc/rpm/macros: %dist .fc5, then no need to use --define at each build
rpmbuild specify platform
- rpmbuild -ba item.spec --target i686
sky2 driver status
- FC5 kernel 2.6.20: v1.10
- Fedora 7 kernel 2.6.21: v1.14
- Vanilla kernel 2.6.22.1: v1.14
Realtek 8111B Gigabit (r8169) driver status
- FC5 kernel 2.6.20: 2.2LK, supported (1. driver is modified, not same as 2.6.18, 2. tested at Gigabyte G33 motherboard GA-G33-DS3R)
- OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18: 2.2K, not support
Building Kernel
- Build time
  - OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1, 46min,
- Support status for ICH9 in Intel P35/G33 chipset
  - In FC7's 2.6.21, AHCI 2.1, has ICH9 support
  - In FC5's 2.6.20, AHCI 2.0, has ICH9 support
  - OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1, AHCI 2.0, but only has ICH8's device id. But tested can use with ICH9R. (on Gigabyte GA-G33-DS3R)
  - OpenVZ devel kernel 2.6.20-ovz007.1, AHCI 2.0, has ICH9 support
  - board_ahci_pi values that added after 2.6.18 If has the board_ahci_pi problem, only not able to see the drive.
- In Fedora 7
  - Building a Kernel from the src RPM
  - Tips on building kernel
    For Fedora 7 kernel, Add: "%define _enable_debug_packages 0" under "%if %{with_baseonly}" section
  - Build kernel & kernel-devel only, use:
    rpmbuild -ba --with baseonly --without debuginfo --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
  - Build smp kernel & kernel-devel only, use:
    rpmbuild -ba --with smponly --without debuginfo --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
  - Build time with default (rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec): 5.5h, also it could fail
    ~5-5.5h on Athlon64 X2 3800+, 2CPU, 256M RAM, avg 60% CPU in VMware 6
  - Debug RPMs used 188.1M + 29.7M, core kernel RPMs just 16.6M + 5M, on Fedora 7 2.6.21-1.3228 base kernel
    ~1.25h built on Athlon64 X2 3800+, 2CPU, 256M RAM, avg 60% CPU in VMware 6
    ~1h without debug info (_enable_debug_packages 0)
  - Solution to: modsign.sh: line 47: "segmentation fault"
    disable signmodules in SPEC file (%define with_modsign 0)
