Tiny kernel config for kernel developers using QEMU Compiling a kernel with default options takes a long time on machines I have access to. And it needs quite an amount of disk space as well. Compiling a kernel with "make tinyconfig" is fast, but rather useless - all the important options are missing. If one just wants to do some kernel patches the compiling the kernel or configuring a useful tiny config can take longer than writing the actual kernel patch. This project is an attempt to provide a base kernel configuration for kernel developers who are using qemu. The initial commited version takes about 5 minutes to compile (as debian package) on my 7 year old Intel Xeon E3-1245 workstation. Recommended qemu configuration: - virtio for network and storage - Some drivers supported by QEMU are already in the config, but not all of them. If qemu refuses to boot up with this config - typically change your disk settings to virtio - serial console for access Recommended grub configuration: - GRUB_TERMINAL=console - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200" (assuming two serial consoles, one as default by virt-manager redirecting to tty0 and a second for access with minicom or telnet)
