I'm sort of stuck where you are...
anyone to toss a bone here on compiling kernel modules
I'm following the release notes:
Note
An exploded source tree is not required to build kernel modules against
the currently in-use kernel.
For example, to build the foo.ko module, create the following file
(named Makefile) in the directory containing the foo.c file:
obj-m := foo.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
so
# ls -l
total 204
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Aug 13 23:36 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140 Aug 13 23:33 Makefile~
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 118447 Jun 24 12:42 megaraid.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29506 Jun 24 12:42 megaraid.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2808 Jun 24 13:04 scsi.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4146 Jun 24 13:05 scsi_obsolete.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 215 Jun 24 13:05 scsi_typedefs.h
# cat Makefile
obj-m := megaraid.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
then running the following...I'm shooting blanks...
# make -w
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/megaraid'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/megaraid modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/build'
make: *** [default] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/megaraid'
Anyone care to toss a bone my way?
Craig
