SuSE 8.2 Athlon kernel source problems


Ok I have an Athlon 1500+ and SuSE installed the 2.4.20-4GB-athlon kernel. I have a acx100 WLAN PCMCIA card. I am trying to install the driver and I get this very strange error and I can't seem to fix the problem. Here is the error message:

/../src/acx100_pci.o: kernel-module version mismatch
./../src/acx100_pci.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20-4GB
while this kernel is version 2.4.20-4GB-athlon.
Error while inserting module! Bailing...

I have the non athlon source installed, I even tried uninstalling the original 2.4.20-4GB source and install the athlon source and the source seems to install. However, if I go back into YaST, the source selection is unchecked once again. Any ideas whatsoever?

Well, there is only one kernel-source, regardless of the kernel you are using (athlon or standard). Did you compile this driver yourself on your machine? Are you trying to install a module that was present with the system out of the box or did you recompile the kernel to provide module support for this card? Explain in a little more detail what you are trying to do.

Also, with a pcmcia lan card, you generally only have to specify pcmcia through the network devices module in YaST and the appropriate module is loaded. But then I'm not familiar with your card.

I'm struggling to get my orinoco usb client to work too, on suse 8.2. I just managed past the stage you're stuck at, and managed to get the light to flash on my usb device !!! Still can't ping yet, now need to figure how to configure the network ..

Anyway, here's what you have to do to resolve the 2.4.20-4GB Vs 2.4.20-4GB-athlon issue:
In your linux source distribution, edit version.h and add in the 'athlon' bit.
e.g. pico /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
Add the "-athlon" to "2.4.20-4GB"

Now recompile your source with the kernel code - you should be able to load the modules now.
