Title: Kernel and modules recompile script (MIT)
Post by: aw on October 22, 2016, 09:08:35 AM

Hi,

I've built a script (Makefile) which can be used to recompile a TinyCore Linux kernel, as well as the modules extensions (ex: ipv6-3.16.6-tinycore64.tcz).

https://github.com/Jidoteki/tinycore-kernel (https://github.com/Jidoteki/tinycore-kernel)

It helped rebuild the 6.x kernel to support more CPUs. I also used it to successfully update the 6.x kernel to v3.16.38 (latest 3.16.x).

It can definitely be improved, so please feel free to fork it on GitHub, make pull-requests and suggest improvements where you see fit.

Thanks!

FYI, the patches are cosmetic/boot speed only, except the AGP patch that allows that particular chipset to work.

Our script to create the module extensions can be found in our github (sorter).
