Looking to rebuild kernel from source. Does anyone know how to obtain the .config file for the kernel build?
Thanks

I would like to know if config_tun is set to Y or M?
thanks in advanced
For most kernels (including IR's), you can extract the .config file from /proc/config.gz

Thanks man. BTW yesterday i switch back from CM 7.0.2.1 to CM 6.1.1 coz of wonk issues and i really want the vpnc app to work. i'm looking for a good battery life kernel currently i'm using WM last kernel version for CM6, if someone can give me a link for IR kernel (latest) that works with CM6.1.1 coz on IR's download page i tried all the kernel's for CM6 eventually i got boot loops and on RS kernel i got FC's & i can't find those with OC/UV. for now i don't have any issues with WM but i really want IR for comparison Thanks
I'm working on compiling a kernel for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. I've got source and the proper toolchain installed, but I need a rootfs. I did this for the Epic, but it's been quite a while. In the kernel config file CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE needs to be pointed to the source rootfs, if I remember correctly. Can someone lend a hand? Is there a FAQ or HOWTO?
not sure how familiar you are with irc, but if you get on fossnet and join the #gtab channel you will get some help there im sure.
Thanks for the tip!
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm having issues too (having only just had time to actually compile something from the Gingerbread source).
So, I've got the gingerbread update 2 kernel source, have extracted the initramfs.cpio from the existing gb kernel and pointed the appropriate CONFIG setting of the kernel p1_defconfig at that file and then performed a build. My assumption was that this would build a kernel that would boot and be nearly identical to the vanilla kernel. But apparently not as it just hangs.
Anyone know off-hand what I'm missing?
My issue was that the script I was using to extract the initramfs from the zImage wasn't working properly and was apparently truncating the cpio file. This was causing hangs when I rebuilt the kernel using this initramfs.
Using this script all works fine: https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs
Does anyone know where I can find this kernel? (Ready to flash)
Hi guys,
can i use a kernel (Parasmi kernel) on a different Gb rom even XWKTN? thanks
If the BOOTCLASSPATH and ramdisk is same then, yes.
Hi all,
First of all, I hope that is this question was not yet in the forum. At least, I have searched for it.
Well, I'm trying to compile LG P990 kowalski kernel from @pengus77 from it's github sources (github(dot)com/pengus77/lge-kernel-star)
Currently, I'm using the oldBL and I'm compiling the kernel using Linaro toolchain 4.6.2 (in Ubuntu).
I can compile the kernel without major problems, and both zImage and modules are generated. After, I used the the anykernel script (for old bootloader - oldBL), the same used by @pengus77 to distribute the kowalski.
The problem is that I can not boot the phone using the zImage compiled by myself. It always stucks in LG Logo.
Do you have hint to this? It might be a problem with environment setup and/or with Linario toolchain version?
All your possible help will be appreciated.
Many thanks!
