2.6.15 kernel build problem on Dell D610


Hi
I have succeeded to boot a version of 2.6.15 on this machine but found I had no longer any ethernet, no eth0 device. (eth0 worked fine on the std 2.4.27 kernel)

So thought this required tweak of some CRC modules and decided
to build broadcom netxtreme driver into kernel.

from lspci on D610:
0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01)


so I made another run of
make xconfig
then
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --append_to_version=.d610.5 --revision=d610.5 kernel-image

(this procedure has worked fine for all other Makes I made)

only this time bombs out with following error

LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x66c79): In function `bnx2_set_rx_mode':
: undefined reference to `crc32_le'
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x69320): In function `bnx2_test_nvram':
: undefined reference to `crc32_le'
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x6934e): In function `bnx2_test_nvram':
: undefined reference to `crc32_le'
make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.15'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2


Any ideas ?

this is excerpt from my .config file:

# PHY device support
#
# CONFIG_PHYLIB is not set

#
# Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
#
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_MII=y

OK, got it working once I compiled the ethernet parts as modules (m) only . Must be some mixture of kernel/modules that is not possible.

Same problem, compiled tigon3 as a module and it works now. This is on Gentoo. However, it was working on this same laptop (D610) with the same kernel with tigon3 compiled into the kernel. This was after upgrading the kernel from 2.6.11 though and using the previous config file. It was after doing a clean install that this problem occured, so maybe its something in the 2.6.15 default config file?

Actually my problem turned out to be /boot wasn't mounted when I was running make install...doh! Which is why being configured as a module worked...Perhaps you did the same?

I was using make-kpkg and then of course dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.15.deb to install kernel , so not sure what was mounted during install.

Question STD 0.1 on Dell Latitude D610

I very new to the Knoppix realm and love all the tools that STD offers. I just received a new Dell D610 with a builtin Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit C, Bluetooth, Dell Wireless 1370WLAN Mini-PCI C. I am using the STD 0.1 iso image, and it appears that it can not see any of my NICs. Can anyone point me to a version I can download that works? I have no clue how to complie my own.

Thanks
Todd
