Support for UDMP firmware 1.12.xx

[kim-bjoern]

Hi Fabian, brilliant work for the UDM "victims" around the world! Many thanks.

I've been trying to build my own UDM-kernel for the recent 1.12.2x firmware releases, and followed (to the best of my abilities) the "maintenance" instructions. My objective is to add NFS and/or FUSE modules to use with containers on my UDM Pro.

I've copied the UDM_COMMIT hash from the v1.11.4/config.mk to a 1.12.22 config, but when I compile it stops at:

What am I missing? Did you (or anyone else) have any attempts to add a 1.12.xx version?

Thanks in advance.

You can ignore the errors and warnings from Lintian. Did the build produce any .deb file?

[kim-bjoern]

Excellent! Yes, the .deb was indeed produced.

Next, I configured and compiled a new kernel and installed it on the UDMP. It's listed with udm-bootctl, and seemed to boot. But the nfs module doesn't appear by lsmod. I'm new to kernel compilation, so I'll try again (and learn something new).

Thanks again.

[fabianishere]

You probably need to load the module first. I suppose modprobe nfs.

[kim-bjoern]

Thanks Fabian, I tried that

# modprobe nfs
modprobe: module nfs not found in modules.dep

I configured the NFS as y* - not as a module
I'm eager to learn how this is done, so I'll keep trying. Stay tuned.
