The 2GB threshold comes from the fact, that the machine I am working on only supports SD (not SDHC) which are max 2GB big.

So far I have managed to compile the kernel with my adjusted kernel config and applied RT-Patch. But I am stuck trying to get this kernel into my bootable USB. The tutorials I found create Live USBs bigger than 2GB. (this for example breaks at tar -xpf ~/Download/portage-latest.tar.xz) And the minimal Gentoo x86 img does not contain the kernel bzImage or any lib/modules directory:

2048 2,0K drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2,0K Sep 29 08:08 gentoo.efimg.mountPoint 1873 179M -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 179M Sep 29 08:08 image.squashfs 1920 4,0K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Sep 29 08:06 isolinux 1881 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 29 08:06 livecd 1885 7,5K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7,1K Sep 29 08:06 README.txt

I have gotten so far that I mounted image.squashfs and found /mtn/modules but I still can't locate the kernel bzImage.

Can someone point me to a good tutorial or provide one?

  • There should be kernel in the `isolinux` directory, check the config isolinux.cfg for exact name – osgx Dec 04 '15 at 01:34
