these are the linux notes, for xnu(darwin) see OsX Kernel

required packages

• kernel-source
• kernel-package
• ?

rsync

• from BenH tree (ppc maintainer?)
  • rsync -arvz –delete rsync.penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh /usr/src/.
• from mvista linuxppc tree
  • rsync -avz –delete source.mvista.com::linuxppc_2_4(_devel) /usr/src/.

optional packages

• mol-modules-source (for mac-on-linux support)

bash# cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.12
bash# make xconfig         [alt: make menuconfig]
 (OSS+ dma support compiled in, persistent dma buffers)
bash# make-kpkg clean
bash# make-kpkg --added_modules mol --revision=2.4.12.zzk kernel_image
  (wait for kernel-image .deb to be built)
bash# cd ..
bash# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.12_2.4.12.zzk_powerpc.deb
  (installs)
bash# mount -t hfs /dev/hda11 /mnt/mould/
bash# cp /boot/vmlinux-2.4.12 /mnt/mould/Systemordner/Linux\ Kernels/.
bash# reboot
  (change default kernel)

or the kernel + modules images can be built/installed seperately

bash# make-kpkg --revision 2.4.12.zzk kernel_image
   (then install the .deb as above)

bash# make-kpkg modules_image
   (then install the .deb as above)
