Fair enough, I'm not the first one then :)
By "building a kernel" do you mean recompile the kernel?
If so, I've no idea how to do that (I told you I'm really new at this!), I know I need the source kernel (2.6.32 in this case), and then I guess I could follow one of the thousands tutorials or "how to's" on the web.
Still, I don't know if it comes with preloaded options and you just modify the ones you want (case in point, the one you're telling me), or if you need to know all the options there is to configure from scratch.
Anyway if you could point me to the source kernel and a tutorial or "how to" to recompile it, I'll give it a try gladly!
If I succeed, I promise to post the recompiled version on a fileserver for newbies generations to come...
Thanks a lot for your reply, and patience!!!

Try building a kernel with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y.
The stock gc-linux kernel comes without support for "normal" optical drives.

I'll definitively give it a try this weekend I've got a couple of last minute dumb questions... 1) I know the tutorial says to produce it using a Linux PC, is it possible to follow it on my linux wii? If not, is it possible to follow it using a linux Live CD (such as Ubuntu)? 2) Can I apply mike's patch to versions 2.6.32 on? I'll do it on the 2.6.32, but it'll be cool to have it on the last stable version 2.6.36 I'll let you know how it went next week Cheers and thanks again!

Start with the kernel configuration of your actual kernel image. To get your kernel configuration just boot into your whiite linux installation and do a "zcat /proc/config.gz > /tmp/my_kernel_config.txt". This will create a file named /tmp/my_kernel_config.txt, which you need to copy to your "build" machine (i.e. where you will build/compile your kernel). Then follow the instructions at: http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/Building_a_GameCube_Linux_Kernel At step 2 of "Building the kernel image", instead of using a default config, do copy the contents of your my_kernel_config.txt file to linux-2.6.32/.config . Then modify the .config file to set the needed option (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y). The .config file is a text file that you can manually edit. Alternatively, if you prefer it, you can do a "make menuconfig" to tweak the options. Cheers, Albert |

it would be difficult to do on a ubuntu live cd as you would have to install a cross-compiler and the build tools inside the live cd environment. you can apply the patches to that version only. if the patch is for 2.6.32, you can apply it to the most recent version of 2.6.32, which is 2.6.32.24 as of this writing according to kernel.org.

Ok, got it. I have a linux PC but it is slooow, anyhow it should work. Thanks for the tips and advice, now is time for action :) Re: [Gc-linux-devel] ide-scsi problem From: Anthony Schmidt <anthony@ma...> - 2010-10-22 16:32 it would be difficult to do on a ubuntu live cd as you would have to install a cross-compiler and the build tools inside the live cd environment. you can apply the patches to that version only. if the patch is for 2.6.32, you can apply it to the most recent version of 2.6.32, which is 2.6.32.24 as of this writing according to kernel.org.

Well After coming across a couple of thousand problems (lost my Ubuntu password and had to reinstall it, missing libraries, missing development tools, etc, etc, etc...), I finally got my kernel recompiled. The process informed a couple of errors (some stuff about variables not used, comparisons without cast, and things like that) but it made the elf kernel file, I tried it, and IT WORKED (so far)! SCSI USB DVD is fully operational, and now all I have to figure out is how to properly configure xine-ui (right now is sloooow) to finally achieve full DVD movie playback capability. As promised, I post the link to the kernel file, just in case someone else needs it (NTSC): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EQFL2Y8S Thank you guys for everything Cheers |
