Okay. So I really like the CK kernel. In paticular, the BFS (Brain F&@k scheduler). However, Ubuntu does not have a good PPA for the experimental kernel. So the best way to install it is through a script I found on Sourceforge.
The steps to compile a kernel with these modifications are:
Download the vanilla kernel
Download and apply the: -ubuntu, -bfq, -ck patchsets
Configure the kernel
Compile
Install
- Code: Select all
wget --no-check-certificate \https://raw.github.com/chilicuil/learn/master/sh/kernel-ck-ubuntu
This downloads the kernel.
- Code: Select all
time bash kernel-ck-ubuntu
This applies the patches:
Finally install the kernel:
- Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i ./linux-*.deb
Please note that this process takes time. You have to compile the kernel, and also add the patches. The process is animated though... It just takes time. If you use the script as of this writing you also get an updated kernel...3.8.2-ck1 Hope you enjoyed my tutorial. ;smile
