Building an EVMS-enabled kernel with kernel-package (recommended)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Obtain kernel sources, either from a kernel-source-x.y.z package or
   elsewhere

2. Install the 'kernel-package' package

2. Unpack kernel sources (tar xjf /usr/src/kernel-source-x.y.z.tar.bz2)

3. cd kernel-source-x.y.z

4. Optionally, copy your existing kernel configuration, e.g. from
   /boot/config-x.y.z, to .config

5. PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES make-kpkg --added-patches evms --append-to-version -evms kernel_image

   You may also wish to specify the evms-VFS-lock patch, e.g.:
   --added-patches evms,evms-VFS-lock

When make-kpkg is finished, you will have a kernel .deb in the parent
directory (where kernel-source-x.y.z is).

Refer to the kernel-package documentation for more information about
make-kpkg and its parameters.

Building an EVMS-enabled kernel by hand
---------------------------------------

If building without kernel-package, run
/usr/src/kernel-patches/apply/evms (and optionally
apply/evms-VFS-lock) in your kernel source tree to apply the
patch(es), then build as normal.
