2.12.b calckernel¶

Purpose¶

calckernel is a tool designed to automate the kernel compilation process and create Ramdisk.

Differences from genkernel¶

calckernel adds several possibilities to Ramdisk functionality:

• bootup in interactive build mode
• aufs and unionfs supported for the LiveCD
• LiveCD loaded to RAM, with dynamic allocation thanks to tmpfs
• CD unmounted once the image is loaded
• KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) used
• using udev for the modules to start automatically
• automatic video card detection
• setting up the Calculate kernel for a specific video driver to be used
