Upgrading Amiga Linux kernel

This is a guide on how to upgrade the kernel for Debian 3.1 for Amiga.
Before upgrading the kernel, do the following:

Known bugs: Real Time Clock will not work with new kernel. Use NTP to sync time instead.

QEMU m68k chroot environment

  • Use Ubuntu linux distribution for this (Fedora seems to have problems with qemu-m68k binfmt)
  • run apt-get install qemu-user-static
  • Build qemu-m68k-static binary build from branch qemu-m68k-680x0-v2.7.0 at https://github.com/vivier/qemu-m68k
  • Or download from here: qemu-m68k-static.tar.gz
  • Run
debootstrap --variant=buildd --foreign --arch=m68k unstable sid-m68k-sbuild http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/
  • Copy the qemu-m68-static into sid-m68k-sbuild/usr/bin
  • Chroot into sid-m68k-sbuild
  • Run
debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
