[Dev] Building a 2.6.29 kernel for the Hero

---

Hello,

I would like to build a 2.6.29 kernel for Hero for us to run properly Donut roms.

Here is my progress so far:

- I have sync the android kernel msm from git.
# git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git
# cd msm
# git checkout --track -b android-msm-2.6.29 origin/android-msm-2.6.27
- then:
# adb pull config.gz ./
# gunzip config.gz && mv config .config
# make PATH=$PATH:android-1.6_r1/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin ARCH=arm SUBARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

But no luck: it asks me questions to configure the kernel (error in .config?)

I have attached some useful files.

Try running make menuconfig and manually load the .config file. What happens?

kernel sources for hero is not available on http://developer.htc.com/ then no hero support in android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git

Well this guy did it here for sapphire before Htc released kernel sources.... So I think we can.

I copied the hero .config file to kernel root, then "make menuconfig" and loaded .config, then exit and yes to "write .config" question.
Make failed, output attached (make1.txt)

I then applied TigerTael sapphire patch as he "tends to think the memory locations may be correct". Tried to manually load hero's .config and got attached error (error.txt)

I then "make msm_defconfig" and could compile a kernel witch I added to ADP-1.6 boot.img. But no luck it does not work and adb logcat waits for device.... while I am waiting for advices

Regards

Was the downloaded config copied from a build of the same kernel version? If not do "make oldconfig" before commencing with "make menuconfig" or other build.

'make oldconfig' asks me the questions to configure the kernel.....

Edit:

If that could help:

cat /proc/iomem
00700000-0079afff : msm_panel.1
007a0000-007bffff : ram_console
19200000-257fffff : System RAM

Yes. It will ask you questions as the kernel has added new capabilities - which you will need to configure. Use the help for the new options to guide your choices, although usually the default is the best way to go. Not doing "oldconfig" step will leave you with a busted build configuration.

I assume you're using the config options from /proc/config.gz on the phone?

Godspeed! (sorry, i cannot contribute anything as I am a total noob, but I'll read your progress regardless!)
(edit: i could beta test though..^_^)
