编译一个Centos6.4下可用的内核rpm升级包-3.8.13内核rpm包

在Centos6.4下进行内核升级,采用内核源码的升级方式比较简单，但是需要升级的机器多的情况下进行内核升级就比较麻烦,并且编译内核的速度依赖于机器的性能,一般需要20分钟,而通过rpm内核包的方式进行安装,就比较快,一般在几分钟之内就可以完成内核的安装,本文档以3.8.13内核源码为例子进行的操作。

根据网上的指导教程编译的rpm包，编译完成后只会生成如下两个rpm包:

• kernel-3.8.13-1.x86_64.rpm
• kernel-headers-3.8.13-1.x86_64.rpm

而实际进行内核升级的时候还需要kernel-firmwsare-3.8.13-1.x86_64.rpm这个包,这个包是包含内核固件相关文件的,而在进行rpm打包的时候,这个包会内嵌到kernel-3.8.13-1.x86_64.rpm这个包当中去,而安装的时候系统没有找到这个包，进行升级的时候就会报错。

所以需要对内核源码编译文件进行一定的修改，这个地方需要修改的文件为linux-3.8.13/scripts/package/mkspec路径下的这个文件,具体修改如下(新版内核解决了这个问题,可以不需要修改,根据生成包的情况来看是否修改):

加入kernel-devel支持需要修改

修改完上面的然后在根目录进行 make rpm 即可生成相应的内核rpm包

这个是修改完的内核mkspec文件，可以直接使用

安装前需要安装依赖包

yum install -y gcc make  bison ncurses-devel rpm-build
