Sorry for the bad mail below:
Hi all,
I'm searching the good process to upgrade the kernel on CentOS 7 armv7hl.
Actually the 4.2 kernel is not supporting crypto drivers for sunxi, and need to be patched, or need to use a newer kernel (I've got very bad performance using openvpn for example. Using newer kernel increase by 200%).
Do you have a process to update correctly the kernel or generate the rpm file for it?
I've tried to "make rpm" using the defconfig existing, but I got:
scripts/Makefile.fwinst:43: *** mixed implicit and static pattern rules. Stop. make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2 erreur : Mauvais statut de sortie pour /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.GAPIw3 (%install)
I'm using bananapi M1 (I've helped to validate the actual image of CentOS).
Thanks a lot,
Hi Nicolas,
Sorry for the late answer, but was caught by various things on both personal and private sides, which had higher priority than arm-dev. Which kernel version do you need ? We asked for feedback around newer kernel on the list, but lack of feedback so nothing really pushed to mirror.centos.org, but here are the last kernel we built for armhfp/armv7 : http://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/arm-kernels/
The goal was to use the same LTS kernel (so 4.4.x when discussed) across AltArch (when not using the distro one, which - for armhfp - doesn't work) You can find for example http://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/arm-kernels/4.4.14-201/ (but now I see that on http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/experimental/x86_64/Packages/ there were other ones, like 4.4.22-201, which I just submitted to the armhfp builders, so will appear later)
Cheers,
