Kernel Configuration 3.0.4
- Followed Ubuntu way of building kernel (to know more follow this link)
- Used EL6 config as base (copied EL6 config instead of cp debian.master/config/amd64/config.flavour.generic debian.master/config/amd64/config.flavour.i7)
- Selected processor as CORE2
- Used GCC 4.6 (to use the new arch corei7 which is for i3, i5 and i7 intel processors)
- Edited main Makefile to append -march=corei7 -mtune=corei7
- Enabled transparent hugepages support
- Enabled all cpufrequency scaling drivers like ubuntu
How to install
Extract the kernel zip file, and enter into the extracted folder in terminal (using open in terminal in nautilus)
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.0.4-030004_3.0.4-030004.201108301138_all.deb linux-headers-3.0.4-030004-i7_3.0.4-030004.201108301138_amd64.deb linux-image-3.0.4-030004-i7_3.0.4-030004.201108301138_amd64.deb
Changes done in my system
Added pci=nocrs to kernel in /etc/grub.d/10_linux to avoid pci address space conflict warning
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT pci=nocrs"
Ran update-grub2 to regenerate grub entries
Added acpi_cpufreq in /etc/modules to enable cpufrequncy
scaling (by default not adding acpi_cpufreq module in /etc/modules ran
my processor in full speed and I was happy to the overclock frequency
working!!, or in other words if you overclock dont add acpi_cpufreq in /etc/modules)
