Building TinyCore64 kernel 6.1.5 succesful (vmware booting)

(1/1)

alphons:
Successfully builded the latest kernel 6.1.5 for tineycore64 13.1
Screenshot attached.

Testing extensions samba and openssh, all working.

nick65go:
wow, congratulation! but why? when we will have it soon, see the kernel + modules from:
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/14.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/config-6.1.2-tinycore64

alphons:
why?  8) I did not see any post of working on new kernel releases on this forum :o
You pointed out to the 14.x release, also that is not mentioned anywhere  :o
I think this is the first succesful running of tinycore64 kernel 6.1.5 to my knowledge.

I maintain/administer tinycore machines, all are running on intel esxi hosts.
In the process i always make the kernel/modules/rootfs as small as possible for my specific setup.
(hate docker, tinycore does a better job after all)
Was happy so see my first try on 6.1.5 compiling and running #1 version  ;D

alphons:
Managed to get 6.1.6 up and running.

I just published my (private) isobuilder on github.
Also included the used .config files for different kernels.

What it does is;

* getting the current TinyCore64 iso
* getting the new linux kernel sources (kernel.org)
* extracts iso
* compiles kernel
* compiles modules
* installs new kernel and modules
* creates new iso
This is only for the people who know what thet are doing ...  8)
The used .config files are made minimal for my use, they contain a few modules, mostly externel kernel and for runnng in vmware/esxi
Best is to do the r option ( make menuconfig) and add all the stuff you need.

There are NO patches applied to the sources.

patrikg:
Thank you for getting involving to build our great Linux dist.
And also share your experiences with that and also share it via github.
