Can't boot with newly built Linux kernel
Hi,
I downloaded a Fedora 20 DVD (full version, 0x86_64) and install it on my laptop PC's hard drive. I have a Lenovo G510 with windows 8.1. I was able to boot the Fedora 20.
I downloaded a linux source tree 3.13.2 from kernel.org and unpack it. I copied the config file which use to boot up the Fedora to my linux-3.13.2 tree, rename it .config (I tried to avoid to use ncurses which I need to install otherwise).
Then I did "make, make modules_install, make install".
I then reboot my pc. After boot up, I tried to boot the newly built linux kernel, but I saw the following message on the screen: error: /vmlinuz-3.13.2 has invalid signature error: you need to load the kernel first.
Anybody knows what could be the problem?
Do I need to do anything in the bootloader (grub) to have it boot the new image? If so, how?
And, should there a "config-3.13.2" file generated under /boot? I don't see it.
Thanks!
kristin.
Boot one of your older kernel options and use the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel to build your custom kernel. It would probably help to start with a newer src.rpm, like you'd find from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
Also, this could help about building and install an upstream kernel. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BuildingUpstreamKernel
The above web link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BuildingUpstreamKernel looks is what I trying to do. (get kernel from kernel.org , instead of build from RPM). saw a web link http://lwn.net/Articles/583075/ mentioned we may get kernel source use git.
Anybody know the exact git command to get source from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git for linux-3.13.y? git clone ....???
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.gitWhat if I want to get a 3.13.y (or any perticular label) - will the above command does so?
