Re: kernel or syskold not supporting flavours
Hi,
There are two different places where the version number gets
included. One is LINUX_VERSION_CODE, which is a pure number, and can
not accomodate arbitrary flavours, and the other is UTS_RELEASE,
which can.
However, the correct way of making flavours work with klogd is
to edit /etc/init.d/syslogd like so:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Use KLOGD="-k /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)" to specify System.map
#
KLOGD="-k /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)"
....
.... /sbin/klogd $KLOGD
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This works; I have tested this. I have also modified the
Flavours proposal to include this workaround.
This is what the Flavours scheme advocates you do.
