No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.4.23
 

How do I get past this error?

No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.4.23
mkinitrd failed

I'm trying to get a DWL-122 to work, it's the only item preventing me
from dropping XP.

Thanks

Some help.

aic7xxx is the module for an Adaptec SCSI controller and not for the wireless card. Is this a seperate problem?

Thanks for your reply.

I'm using a fresh RH9 install onto a SCSI drive. (XP is on IDE, I toggle the BIOS to switch between the two because of XP MBR issues)

I found and am following this to hopefully configure and install the 2.4.23 kernel to support a DWL-122:

I didn't notice the above error the first time around, and received the following error when attempting to boot the new kernel:

booting command-list
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem is extfs,partition type 0x83
Kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.23 ro root=LABEL =/ hdc=ide-scsi
Error 15: File not found

My thought is once I get the kernel setup correctly, I'll use wlan-ng or ndiswrapper for the DWL-122.

I'm going to go through the links you've posted and see where I end up.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, the ndiswrapper needs kernel "at least 2.6.6 or 2.4.26", so I was heading down a rat hole. I'm downloading 2.6.6 right now, I'll try again and hopefully the aic7xxx issue will magically cure itself.

[root@localhost linux]# sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.6/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.6 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map
No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.6.6
mkinitrd failed

Ok, I'm not getting something set correctly when I configure the kernel via "make menuconfig".

Help?

I switched to Fedora 3. Now I can focus on the DWL-122 stuff.
