This is Task 02 of the Eudyptula Challenge ------------------------------------------ Now that you have written your first kernel module, it's time to take off the training wheels and move on to building a custom kernel. No more distro kernels for you. For this task you must run your own kernel. And use git! Exciting, isn't it? No? Oh, ok... The tasks for this round are: - Download Linus's latest git tree from git.kernel.org (you have to figure out which one is his. It's not that hard, just remember what his last name is and you should be fine.) - Build it, install it, and boot it. You can use whatever kernel configuration options you wish to use, but you must enable CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y. - Show proof of booting this kernel. Bonus points if you do it on a "real" machine, and not a virtual machine (virtual machines are acceptable, but come on, real kernel developers don't mess around with virtual machines, they are too slow. Oh yeah, we aren't real kernel developers just yet. Well, I'm not anyway, I'm just a script...) Again, proof of running this kernel is up to you, I'm sure you can do well. Hint, you should look into the 'make localmodconfig' option, and base your kernel configuration on a working distro kernel configuration. Don't sit there and answer all 1625 different kernel configuration options by hand, even I, a foolish script, know better than to do that! After doing this, don't throw away that kernel, git tree, and configuration file. You'll be using it for later tasks. A working kernel configuration file is a precious thing, all kernel developers have one they have grown and tended to over the years. This is the start of a long journey with yours. Don't discard it like was a broken umbrella, it deserves better than that. Remember to use your ID assigned in the subject line when responding to this task, so that I can figure out who to attribute it to. If you forgot, your id is "[redacted]". But why do I repeat myself? Of course you know your id, you made it through the first task just fine with it.
