Kernel is to new, help.
I have just upgraded to RH 9.0, and I am trying to get my winmodem to work with the drivers here http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/hcf/downloads.html I have had this modem working before in RH 7.1, but there is no RPM for my Kernel 2.4.20-8. So I want to use the source.
i downloaded the source and tried rpmbuild --rebuild filename.src.rpm but it ended with errors. What can I do to get this to work? Thanks. |
try with non RedHat sources (plain .tar.gz packages).
Submit errors. |
Thanks for the reply, here is what happened when i used the tar.gz;
Code:
[root@localhost hcfpcimodem-0.99mbsibeta02123100]# make install |
Well, keep cool. Very simple error:
<<Is the kernel-source package installed? KERNELSRC does not point to a proper directory (/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/build). Stop.>> The installation process says that it needs the kernel sources, or at least the modules directory for the version of the kernel. Is the a directory named /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/ ? What's inside /lib/modules/ ? The theory: If you are compiling a module, you might need the kernel sources (keep in mind that a module is just an external piece of the kernel) and you need a directory for installing the modules after compilation.) So, get the kernel sources for 2.4.20-8; that "-8" sure means it is a kernel provided by your distribution. Otherwise it would be just 2.4.20. Check /lib/modules. Keep in mind that by now the problem is not with the compile of your module itself, but with something you still need for compiling it. |
