tweeking uptime

X11 · Post by **X11** » Sat Jan 25, 2003 11:08 am

VoidMain, how do i go about tweeking my uptime in debian so it thinks its higher, i want to change a few things, and its for my "TestBox" so i dont really care if it kills the whole system.

So where do i start?

Just have to add a line or two to /usr/src/linux/kernel/sysctl.c to expose a certain variable under /proc/sys/kernel so it can be manipulated. I believe I posted my patch and instructions on MES, should be able to find it in a netcraft thread over there...

hehehe cool

I noticed you run transperancy on your terms in your screenshots void, you should use my Linus background (im going to make a better one) its good inspiration for kernel hacking.

voidmain there is a make rpm or somthing you can do kernels, would you make an rpm with 2.4.20 and this patch in it?

No way, I'm not going to make a 40MB RPM for a 2 line patch that you can apply with a single command (patch -p1 < myipp.patch) to a stock kernel.

Right here in front of your nose. :)

Why are you using 2.4.18-14? Although it should work with that kernel, I patched against 2.4.20 which is what I would suggest you use following my 2.4.20 kernel from source example in the Red Hat tips section. I have no idea why you are getting those errors though but I can tell you they have nothing to do with that little patch I created. I also assume you are doing this on your Red Hat box since that looks like the RH8 stock kernel version.

Well my hard disk got wiped because i put Windows on there for a lan party- and its off now.

And do you know what i should do it fix it, i seen stuff about the jiffies tweek in there.

Void Main · Post by **Void Main** » Sun Jan 26, 2003 6:33 am

You saw stuff about what in where? You didn't include the beginning of the errors as far as I can see. Let me ask you a question. How did you install the patch? Did you copy/paste the patch into a file and then change into your linux source directory and run the patch command on it (patch -p1 < /dir/patchfile)? And was it successful? If so I need to see where the errors start. I don't see anything related to the patch in the error message. Again, I suggest you get the 2.4.20 kernel source and install according to my kernel instructions.

X11 · Post by **X11** » Sun Jan 26, 2003 6:46 am

the patch was sucsessful i think
i just downloaded the patch and saved it to my /johnz partition
then copyed it to /usr/src/linux-2.4
then i did the "patch p1 < file" stuff
then i did a "make oldconfig"
then "make bzImage"
then "make modules"
then this

Please, I don't need to see a duplicate of the error messages that do me absolutely no good. Save the error messages to a file "make modules > /tmp/makemodules.log 2>&1" and stick them on your web site.
