/lib/modules/kernel "disappearing"
Hi,
explanation of the problem in few words:
compiling some drivers, the process exit with errors apperently due to the absence of the /lib/modules/2.6.19.2
where 2.6.19.2 is the kernel I built.
"exhaustive" explanation of the problem:
I built my own kernel 2.6.19.2 for my Ubuntu Edgy
following the well known Debian guides:
make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version -versione kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image
The new kernel works perfectly so I begin installing
external drivers I need: I installed Nvidia driver and
r1000 (for my Realtek 8168 Gigabit Ethernet card) without
problems.
Finally I was going to install the ipw3545 driver
'cause it is not included in the vanilla;
I followed the "README" of the official project
that can also be found on a high number of sites and blogs.
After successfully installing the new ieee stack
I enter the ipw3945 directory and type: make
the process breaks 'cause it seems not to find the directory
/lib/modules/2.6.19.2
For the same reason I'm not able to build and use the
support for my Hauppauge WinTV HVR900 --> processes breaks
and exit with error 2 appearently because of the absense of
that directory.
In these alst 13 days I was searching for a way to solve this
problem but I'm not able to find a solution. I also rebuilt
the kernel with the classical way
(make bzImage, make modules, make_install and so on)
but the result is still the same :-(
Please help me 'cause at this moment the only way to use my
wi-fi card is using the official Ubuntu kernel, but I need to
run a custom kernel.
sincerely,
deadlinx
