Bug 35766 – tiny patchset ebuild for kernel series 2.6.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dorian Gray 2003-12-13 17:54:14 UTC]

Matt Mackall announced a new "-tiny" patchset for the 2.6 kernel, now in ebuild flavor.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107120051819804&w=2
"How small is -tiny? It's hard to quantify as it's all configurable and some functionality is more important than others, but my current test config has full IPv4 net stack and most other important functionality and will boot comfortably on a 4M x86 box with about 2M free+buffers+cache."

disabling CONFIG_PTRACE caused a build error that I was not able to resolve, so
I just enabled it for now in my .config file.

enabling CONFIG_PROCESSOR_SELECT (and selecting only the relevant cpu type)
caused errors in the final linking stage of the kernel image, so I disabled it
in my config (no errors from the linker then).

also, if CONFIG_NET_SMALL is disabled, you will need to patch
drivers/char/random.c as follows:

Added, I used the kernel-2 eclass for the ebuilds.
