Recommendation for installing kernel modules on Amazon Linux 2023 #12

Closed mhoeben closed 1 year ago

mhoeben commented 1 year ago

Following the instructions in this repository for Amazon Linux 2, I run into compilation issues for Amazon Linux 2023:

git checkout origin/amazonlinux2
sudo yum install git kmod make "kernel-devel-uname-r == `uname -r`"
sudo make # build kernel modules
sudo make install # build and install *unsigned* kernel modules

The issues revolve around the kernel functions having different prototypes than the code expects.

In #11 I read that this repository should be considered obsolete and I should be using binderfs and ashmem available in the distribution. I have been searching what package they should be in for Amazon Linux 2023, but so far have not found the package name.

Can you give a suggestion? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

For kernel above 5.7, extra work (check #4) needed to make out of tree binderfs module working.

For running redroid, I strongly recommend to use some Linux distros with binderfs support (such as Ubuntu, although extra packages needed).
