Linux or Windows, read and compare!
We are using online programs on OS/2 system.
(OS/2 has problems with new equipments) Now we decided to replace with a new one. For us it is important to support MOXA serial adapter C320T/PCI. 1)It has been said that Linux more suitable, stable, durable. We have never used Linux before. We installed MOXA's serial adapter C320T/PCI under Red Hat 9 according to manual of the equipment.(Red hat is second try after unsuccessful action with Mandriva) But without success. Then asked Moxa Linux support team to help solving the problem. They also could not help. After that I posted this problem in the several linux forums. And followed some member's advice, downloaded kernel-source and built it. Received error again during MOXA installation: [root@localhost driver]# make install gcc -c -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer-pipe -march=i486 -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include -I/usr/src/linux/include -DMODVERSIONS moxa.c In file included from moxa.c:36: /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error Modules should never use kernel-headers system headers, /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error but rather headers from the appropriate kernel package. /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:3:2: #error Change -I/usr/src/linux/include (or similar) to /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:4:2: #error -I/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:5:2: #error to build against the currently-running kernel.

All ports are operational. I did nothing more. |

modprobe moxa ??? If you had done that, it would have worked for you without even needing to install a driver. Support for this device has been in the kernel for quite some time. Quote:

modprobe moxa
module moxa not found |
modprobe moxa
Module moxa not found |

Edit: If you built your own kernel, why didn't you include support for the device? :confused: |
With Mandriva 2007:
Code:
[root@mandriva ~]# modinfo moxa Yves. |

Below is what i did to resolve: reinstall REDHAT 9, Make sure you select customize installation, and then select "install everything" then install your MOXA 1.13 driver, it should work |
Centos 5 is a free clone of Redhat(basically logos removed). Running Redhat 9 is like running Windows 98.
