New kernel

[Ivan "hamen" Morgillo]

Hi, I'm trying to install a new kernel for PelicanHPC 1.9. I need to include perfctr patch.
I have followed these tips: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/build-debian-kernel.html
I added patches for squashfs and aufs (as modules) too.
I work in a chroot environment using uncompressed filesystem.squash as /
I installed my new kernel .deb file, I added new vmlinuz and initrd.img to pelican/live/ folder.
I edited pelican/isolinux/menu.cfg as well.

When I boot this modded PelicanHPC I got this error:

mount aufs on /root failed with option noatime,dirs=/cow=rw://filesystem.squashfs=rr

If I boot with PelicanHPC original kernel, everything is fine.
I don't know if I'm doing it the right way. Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks,
hamen

This is more a Debian Live question rather than a PelicanHPC-specific question. PelicanHPC is built using the Debian Live system, so the information for Debian Live is relevant to PelicanHPC too. The Debian Live mail list has a lot of information, and I found this thread on custom kernels:http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2008/04/msg00002.html

I haven't tried it myself, but the procedure seems to be correct to me. You might want to do a careful search of the Debian Live mail list, and perhaps ask if there is any more recent information.

Thank you! That link was illuminant!
I got a brand new 2.6.29 kernel with all patches I need .
