Getting Custom Kernels Running on the Droid X

[furbearingmammal]

Alright, guys, I have my pitch all lined up. If you want to go the Android.net hosting and subforum route just let me know and I'll go talk to a couple of Admins over there to see about getting the ball rolling. Just let me know.

I'll report back here as I get word.

Wrapper around gcc to compile??

No you need a cross-compiler setup to compile it then a wrapper to call it

sure...

but what source to you use for comile the userspace kexec?? (not your kernel mod)

 

[aliasxerog]

The same one you use to compile the kmod.

 

[bschuele]

The same one you use to compile the kmod.

I managed now to cross-compile the kexec-tools with the debian arm toolchain and are able to run kexec on my defy. But I can not load a kernel:

# /tmp/kexec -l /sdcard/kexec/vmlinux-defy
Cannot open /proc/atags: No such file or directory
kexec_load failed: Function not implemented

btw the kernel mod is loaded

# lsmod
kexec_load 23196 0 [permanent], Live 0xbf0fe000

Good news! Cereal Killer wants whoever is in charge of the project to PM him here to talk about setting things up.

So, um, someone should probably do that.

 

[PalmerCurling]

pm'd the man. ill get stuff done as i can!

kexec_load 23196 0 [permanent], Live 0xbf0fe000

Can you run a dmesg | tail after loading kexec then one after trying to execute it.

 

[cereal killer]

All set up!! Break eFuse and show her who's boss : ) Good luck guys great to have you Officially on board.

 

[aliasxerog]

It's great to be officially on board . I never really thought it would get as much support as it's getting.

The kernel module wasn't compiled with kexec atags support I imagine.
