    Compile Kernel 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with Kernel 3.2.0-29-generic-pae?

    Hi, all:

    A naive question:


    First, my environment:
    Ubuntu 12.04, with kernel 3.2.0-29-generic-pae
    Code:
    peijia:~$ uname -a
Linux peijia 3.2.0-29-generic-pae #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:25:43 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
    Now, I'm trying to build kernel 3.5.2 on this machine:
    Code:
    $ make xconfig
$ make
$ make bzImage V=1
    Nothing wrong!!
    However, when I tried to make initrd...

    Code:
    peijia:~/Downloads/Kernel/linux-3.5.2$ mkinitramfs -o initrd-3.5.2 3.5.2
grep: /boot/config-3.5.2: No such file or directory

    It seems /lib/modules/3.5.2/modules.dep doesn't exist. In fact, I don't even have such a folder /lib/modules/3.5.2
    1） Manually created folder /lib/modules/3.5.2
    2） Then, copy modules.dep under folder 3.2.0-29-generic-pae to folder 3.5.2. Namely:
    Code:
    peijia:/lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic-pae$ cp ./3.2.0-29-generic-pae/modules.dep ./3.5.2/
    The, move forward

    However, now, where to find the folder kernel?Under the folder kernel of source code of kernel 3.5.2, there is no such a subfolder drivers; what's more, even if I copied the subfolder drivers of 3.5.2 source under the folder kernel, there are still a lot of such No such file or directory errors !!!

    Then, my qeustion, how to build initrd for kernel 3.5.2 successfully, under Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.2.0-29-generic-pae?


    Best Regards
    Pei

    I don't know about Ubuntu-specific caveats to compiling the kernel, but in general, it looks as though you've skipped "make modules" and "make modules_install" steps.

    At least this is true in the 2.6.x series of the kernel, haven't compiled a 3.x kernel yet.
