I kind of new to kernel building but I would like to try my own kernel. I pretty much followed the "how to" on this site (elinux.org tutorial) to install the 3.5.0-rc7 Kernel on my Pandaboard ES (running Ubuntu 12.04).
Basically I do.
Getting mainline Kernel
$ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
$ cd linux
$ git checkout v3.5-rcx
Getting special uboot and MLO for Pandaboard ES
$ mkdir pandaboard-es
$ cd pandaboard-es
$ git clone git://git.linaro.org/boot/u-boot-linaro-stable.git
$ cd u-boot-linaro-stable
$ git checkout -b pandaboard-es origin/Linaro-u-boot-2011.12
$ make omap4_panda_config
$ make
Make my own config file ( copied the rc7-configfile )
$ vim .config
$ sudo make menuconfig (just added OTG support)
build the uImage
$ make uImage
I copied the MLO u-boot.bin and the uImage to the FAT partition of my Pandaboard and then I tried to boot. The systems boots fully but throws the following message while booting:
*FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.5.0-rc7-dirty/modules.dep: No such file or directory
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
/dev/mmcblk0p2: clean, 319456/3887104 files, 10158442/31093248 blocks
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.5.0-rc7-dirty/modules.dep: No such file or directory
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.5.0-rc7-dirty/modules.dep: No such file or directory*
after the boot up I tried to load a module manually without success. This is the result:
*ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.5.0-rc7-dirty: No such file or directory*
would be great to get your help. I dont know where the failure is..
Regards,
