Vserver Kernel on Ubuntu Dapper with grsecurity

Prerequisites

  • 32 Bit Ubuntu Dapper.
  • installed packages: 
apt-get install build-essential gcc make g++ libncurses5-dev

Howto Devel 2.6.17.14-vs2.0.2.1-grsec2.1.9

Get the Kernel 

cd /usr/src/ && mkdir kernel && cd kernel
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.17.14.tar.bz2
wget http://people.linux-vserver.org/~harry/patch-2.6.17.14-vs2.0.2.1-grsec2.1.9.diff
tar xfjv linux-2.6.17.14.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.17.14

Patch the Kernel 

cat ../patch-2.6.17.14-vs2.0.2.1-grsec2.1.9.diff | patch -p1
cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-server
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make

Make the Kernel 

make install
make modules_install
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17.14-grsec2.1.9-vs2.0.2.1 2.6.17.14-grsec2.1.9-vs2.0.2.1
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

The Boot entry should look like this 

title           Ubuntu, 2.6.17.14-vs2.0.2.1-grsec2.1.9
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.14-grsec2.1.9-vs2.0.2.1 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17.14-grsec2.1.9-vs2.0.2.1
savedefault
boot

Test the Kernel

  • boot Kernel
  • uname -r should show 
2.6.17.14-grsec2.1.9-vs2.0.2.1

Alternate Method

This is based on UbuntuVserverHowTo on the old wiki, updated with new links that work as of December 2006.

Get the Kernel 

apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17  kernel-package
cd /usr/src
tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.17.tar.bz2

Patch the Kernel 

cd linux-source-2.6.17/
wget http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Experimental/OLD-2.0/patch-2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1.diff
patch -p1 < *diff

... 

cp /boot/config-2.6.17-10-generic .config
make oldconfig
say Y to:
 CONFIG_VSERVER_LEGACY
 CONFIG_VSERVER_LEGACYNET
 CONFIG_VSERVER_PROC_SECURE
 CONFIG_INOXID_UGID24
say N to:
 CONFIG_VSERVER_DEBUG

Make the Kernel 

time make    # this will take quite a while
make-kpkg --initrd binary
