Building an atlas Kernel

This assumes that a stable linux kernel source tree already exists on a machine (bob, /srv/kernel/linux-stable), cloned via

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

our Atlas kernel should live in the atlas-3.2 branch (assuming kernel 3.2 is wanted)

git checkout -b atlas-3.2

For different kernel versions there are multiple directories like /srv/kernel/linux-stable-3.XX.

ensure it is up to date

now rebase against against latest version tag, e.g. v3.2.24

git rebase v3.2.24

which should re-apply all local patched

Special patches

See attached list

• atlas.zip: new patches for 3.2

With the 2013 network change and kernels from 3.10 onwards it seems we don't need the NIC patch anymore.

build kernel

export INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1
make -j 8 deb-pkg 

when this is done, the new kernel packages are one level up.
