Kernel patches must be copied to samples/payloads/kboot/kboot-10/patches folder. The
name of the patch must be in the form *kernel*.patch
Two kernels patches are part of the toolkit.
- The EFI Memory Map (published by the Rapid Boot BIOS) gets overwritten by the
Linux kernel while uncompressing the initrd. There is a patch for this (against the
2.6.18 kernel) in the samples/payloads/patches folder.
This patch must be applied for all payloads. Copy the patch to the
samples/payloads/kboot/kboot-10/patches.
- The SMI driver patch is not applicable for the launcher payload.
4. Go to samples/payloads/kboot/, issue the make clean command first and then make.
5. Answer the questions asked by kboot as follows:
i. No config/fstab. Use /etc/fstab (and copy to config/fstab) ? [Y/n] n
ii. Access configuration files on root file system ? [Y/n] n
The bzImage and initrd will be ready in the current folder.
6. Copy bzImage and initrd to the tools/payload-tool-chain/payload folder.
A sample cmdline file is already present in this directory.
7. Go to tools/payload-tool-chain directory and issue make.
The capsule files (DP_Payload.Cap and UP_Payload.Cap) will be ready in the current
folder.
