So if using a ubuntu configuration and changing nothing, you might as well not even use zen because you will see minimal gain over a ubuntu kernel if you don't utilize any of the features it provides. ![]() 'Kernel speed (not system speed) depends on one of two things: 1) The settings you choose in your kernel (such as preemption, i/o scheduler/can be set at runtime, hz setting or dynticks, etc, etc). A quad core xeon versus a celeron 477, obviously the compile time will be dramatically reduced on the xeon. If you start from scratch and make a real "custom" configuration then the compile time will be cut anywhere from 50-90%, typically closer to 90%. If you wish to have a custom kernel, the best way is to build it manually yourself.Ĭompile time depends on one of two things: 1) The size of your configuration: If you are using the default ubuntu configuration with all those extra modules, expect a very long compile time. deb packages is NOT supported and highly NOT reccomended" " - This is the only supported way by zen developers to compile your kernel - Using an automated script, or using pre-built. ![]() You can compile your kernel in one supported way:Ĭompiling and Installing from Source (the SUPPORTED way) txt files in the kernel source directory. Patches from tagged releases in the git tree can be found on the website.įor changelogs just look at git shortlogs, for documentation, visit the website (above link), and look at select. This kernel is maintained through a live git repository, along with other items related to the project, see gitweb. If you need a "broken-out patch" use gitweb or 'git diff'. The only patch you will get from us is a monolithic patch applied on top of some vanilla kernel base we prefer you to use git and "git checkout" the latest stable tag. Since we rarely interact with patches these days, we are not going to go out of our way to provide "broken-out patches". We do all of our development in a git repository, and most of the code we include gets pulled from other git repositories. Zen-Sources is NOT a "patchset" like many of you are used to. If there is something you would like included in a future Zen kernel just ask and we will try to include it. We are generally more up to date than your distribution's default kernel. We include code that is not yet found in the mainline kernel in an attempt to support the latest hardware, new features, security fixes, optimizations, etc. ![]() Zen-Sources is a collaborative effort of kernel hackers and enthusiasts to provide the best Linux kernel possible. Using a custom kernel is not for everybody, there is nothing wrong with you if you choose to keep the default ubuntu kernel updates (well, maybe something wrong with you but i'm not quite sure what :P).Zen Developers offer support (see "Introduction" for developer list), but preferably for kernel related things, NOT distribution related things (use the zen forums for distribution related questions).can confuse new users so it is not reccomended. Please first learn how to do it on mainstream linux kernels, or the official ubuntu kernel. If you have never compiled a custom kernel before, do not start with this kernel.THIS KERNEL IS NOT SUPPORTED BY UBUNTU (do not take zen-specific problems to the ubuntu community) You'll find an Ubuntu section in the forum. The ZEN-kernel Homepage has been relaunched. The very latest ZEN git revision is 2.6.28-rc8-zen1 (Note: It still fails to compile! Use last working 2.6.28-rc6-zen1 instead) If you have a problem, report it on or #zen-sources on freenode. Don't do stupid things like the previous person who has edited this wiki suggested in the note right below this one. I have fixed and erased several absolutely stupid steps, explanations, and comments. I personally updated this wiki this time (zen dev), so it's actually going to be correct. Made some better and friendlier documentation This document is currently obsolete, the new one can be found on the new Zen kernel home page at: Compiling and Installing from Source (the SUPPORTED way).
