Update: module rr232x.ko appears to have been built. I copied it into /lib/modules/2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi uname -r reports kernel version 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64 is running chmod 744 rr232x.ko then with modprobe rr232x or modprobe rr232x.ko I get a FATAL error telling me that module rr232x.ko does not exist.
When building kernel modules for an existing kernel, you MUST modify the Makefile source code from the kernel source RPM to match the version of the running kernel. By default, the kernel source does NOT have the running kernel's version, even if it is the source for that kernel. Example, I'm running 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64. I've installed the kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.src.rpm RPM, then to prep for kernel building: rpm -bp --target=x86_64 ~rpmbuild/SPEC/kernel.spec If you look at the Makefile in ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.30/linux-2.6.30.x86_64 you'll find: VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 30 EXTRAVERSION = .8 If I were to build as it stands, the modules would be versioned to 2.6.30.8 and wouldn't load (or be installed in the correct /lib/modules directory if I did a "make modules-install"). The Makefile must be modified to: EXTRAVERSION = .8-64 to match the running kernel before anything is built (including "make menuconfig", "make xconfig" or "make oldconfig"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - IGNORE that man behind the keyboard! - - - The Wizard of OS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
