Kernel Patch
Download the kernel patch that match your kernelversion:
uname -r # e.g. 2.6.12-rc4-mm1
You should take patch 2.6.12-rc4-mm1-koctopus.patch.diff
Patch you kernel
cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 ../KERNEL-VERSION-kocotpus.patch.diff
Configure you kernel:
make menuconfig # under drivers->net select kocotpus # if you wan't to debug the kocotpus you can also select the debug option make make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/`uname -r`-koctopus reboot
Fine! If you see a linux booting message like
koctopus network performance framework
everything works fine and you did a goof job! ;-)
Errors, Problems, ...
If you find some errors, here are some generic pointers:
- make sure you had a valid linux source pointer:
ls -al /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build # e.g. /lib/modules/2.6.12-rc4-mm1/build -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-rc4-mm1
- your kernel boot messages MUST display somehting like this this
... test test test ...
- your kernel version MUST higher or equal then 2.6 (uname -r)
