What am I looking at for compiling a kernel like that?
For example, I assume I have to have something already installed on the Cubox, no? And it would have to be something newer than the original default Ubuntu I would guess.
I installed the ubuntu image, then I used debootstrap to create a chroot with debian, then I transfered that to be the main filesystem on the SD card. The only non debian part at that point is the kernel image and modules and the boot loader.
debootstrap is a marvolous thing.
It sounds like it. Wow. So can I boot into that Debian system and compile a new kernel from inside that? And do I need to know what options to choose at compile and modules to load for Cubox hardware or is that automatic? Pardon my dumb questions. I was reading this, about installing Debian and compiling a new kernel: http://www.solid-run.com/archive/mw/index.php/Debian_netboot_installer I might be in over my head. Those instructions assume that I know how to do a lot of things that I do not.
