OMV 2 Kernel 4.x Image

ryecoaaron · 1. August 2016

That depends on your comfort with Linux and patience. There are lots of guides available on internet for compiling and installing a Debian/Ubuntu kernel. It isn't a fast process though.

Blabla · 1. August 2016

For what I know, those 2 commands should be enough to install the kernel

Code

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7/linux-image-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_amd64.deb 
dpkg -i *.deb

Am I wrong?

ryecoaaron · 1. August 2016

To install the ubuntu kernel, yes. To compile a kernel, no. I would be careful using the wildcard with dpkg -i. Make sure all .debs are removed from the directory you are doing that from. I would also be careful using the Ubuntu kernel on Debian.

Blabla · 1. August 2016

ok thanks!

sardaukar · 2. August 2016

Anyway for a quick tutorial on how to recompile the kernel with tweaked config? These kernel images can't run Docker

tinh_x7 · 2. August 2016

Use kernel 4.6.5.
It's updated for Docker.

sardaukar · 3. August 2016

But isn't that the one that doesn't work with VirtualBox?

tinh_x7 · 3. August 2016

That's in 4.6.4.
If you look at the changelog in 4.6.5, you'll see it.

Cool, thanks!

Well, I've compiled 4.6.5 and it still doesn't work with VirtualBox. I get this trying to recompile the kernel modules:

after the patch mentioned on the first page, and another one I googled for, it's all good

Blabla · 4. August 2016

how can I download the latest 4.6.5 directly on OMV? I want to try it to see if I can have an auto-wake up and WoL, that are currently not working

tinh_x7 · 4. August 2016

@Blabla,

You can download & compile it yourself or find somebody already compiled the kernel.

sudo wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.6.5.tar.xz

sudo wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.6.5.tar.sign

Blabla · 5. August 2016

The problem is that I never compiled a kernel and I have fear to do something wrong

tinh_x7 · 5. August 2016

Back up your system before attempt your kernel compilation such as Clonezilla.
It may take you a few tries to make it right.

Blabla · 5. August 2016

Not really sure for now, if possible I would try to resolve my standby problem without a kernel update
I made a topic about that

Niemand · 15. August 2016

How do I install 4.5 on the newest OMV 2? I'm using Virtualbox-Plugin.

tinh_x7 · 15. August 2016

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/d…ng-a-custom-linux-kernel/

After you compiled the kernel, do this: dpkg -i linux-image*
dpkg -i linux-header*

Niemand · 15. August 2016

i thought this kernel is already compiled?

I download the Kernel with wget https://miami.tschoerner.eu/kernel/__CURRENT__4.5.X/linux-headers-4.5.7-fts-amd64_01%2Bcustom%2Bfts_amd64.deb and wget https://miami.tschoerner.eu/kernel/__CURRENT__4.5.X/linux-image-4.5.7-fts-amd64_01%2Bcustom%2Bfts_amd64.deb

and then? just dpkg -i linux-image* and dpkg -i linux-header*

Niemand · 15. August 2016

Kernel 4.5.7 is installed, but virtualbox doesn't work anymore...

ryecoaaron · 15. August 2016

Click on the Fix Modules button in the virtualbox plugin.
