Kernel compilation
==================
Make
----
-You will need Gnu make 3.79.1 or later to build the kernel.
+You will need Gnu make 3.80 or later to build the kernel.
Binutils
--------
your kernel. This change does, however, mean that you need a recent
release of binutils.
+Perl
+----
+
+You will need perl 5 and the following modules: Getopt::Long, Getopt::Std,
+File::Basename, and File::Find to build the kernel.
+
+
System utilities
================
----
udev is a userspace application for populating /dev dynamically with
only entries for devices actually present. udev replaces the basic
-functionality of devfs, while allowing persistant device naming for
+functionality of devfs, while allowing persistent device naming for
devices.
FUSE
To enable this new functionality, you need to:
- mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfs
+ mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd
before running exportfs or mountd. It is recommended that all NFS
services be protected from the internet-at-large by a firewall where
that is possible.
+mcelog
+------
+
+In Linux 2.6.31+ the i386 kernel needs to run the mcelog utility
+as a regular cronjob similar to the x86-64 kernel to process and log
+machine check events when CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE is enabled. Machine check
+events are errors reported by the CPU. Processing them is strongly encouraged.
+All x86-64 kernels since 2.6.4 require the mcelog utility to
+process machine checks.
