Thank you very much for the link.. I have built a new bootable
kernel 2.6.9-67 on my machine. However I still have a problem :(
During the installation at "make menuconfig" stage after "make
oldconfig" I have added the generic HDLC package with synchronous
PPP support and saved the new config then run
rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> build-err.log |
tee build-out.log.
After reboot, I rechecked the menuconfig to make sure that the HDLC
setting is there. I am not sure if this setting took effect or I
have to make modules or build something else. So how would I know
that the HDLC package is availalbe and built in?
To elaborate more on the reasons behind this HDLC package, I am
trying to build a device driver that asks for HDLC support. upon
building the driver, I get the following warnings:
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST

*** Warning: "alloc_hdlcdev"

Therefore, I am suspecting that I need the HDLC package available. I
would be extremely thankful for anybody who can help me in this
problem. Am I going into the wrong direction?

Hello folks,
Hi. It is request for it to add this in kernel for centosplus,
look at this: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3019
I am trying to add HDLC module support in the menuconfig.
However, I am facing difficulties in rebuilding the kernel and
modules. My main objective is to get the HDLC supported in
kernel 2.6.9. I have a CentOS 4.4 with kernel 2.6.9.42. I need
help in finding the best way to add the HDLC support whether
through getting an RPM package for it or refering me to the
right procedure in rebuilding the kernel.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
No problem.
That request was for CentOS-5, not CentOS-4 :D
? I can see: Category: [CentOS-4] kernel-centosplus My request was
exactly for centos 4 branch, but for 5 is good too. So, can i count
for You to make it posible in centos4 to support hdlc ?
HDLC was added to the CentOS-5 plus kernel for the latest version.
Sorry about the top posting :(
After reconfiguring the menuconfig to enable the HDLC suport package
(under device drivers). I have tried also do:
modinfo hdlc
but i did not get any info in return... Also I have tried :
lsmod
to check for hdlc module but I could not find it... I guess I am
missing something to activate my new settings in the menuconfig. Is
there a way to verify that my new settings active!! Does any body
know about the HDLC modules loading in the 2.6.9. Please advise. And
thank you all for your help.
After you rebuild the RPM, you need to install the new RPM you just
built.
After that, modinfo should work

Hello,

However, I was able to reboot with the new kernel but still I can not
find o files for my HDLC in the kernel path under driver/net/wan. I am
listing below the steps that I did to install a new customized kernel
starting from fresh installation of CentOS 4.4 with kernel 2.6.9-42
1- getting the kernel:
1.1 access as root
1.2 yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config
1.3 su user
1.4 cd
1.5 mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
1.6 echo "%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild" > .rpmmacros
1.7 rpm -i
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL.src.rpm
2> /dev/null
1.8 cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
1.9 rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> prep-err.log
| tee prep-out.log
These so far sound fine. but then I guess there might be a mistake or
missing step in my procdure to build the new kernel:
2- building a new kernel:
2.1 access as root
2.2 rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> prep-err.log
| tee prep-out.log
2.3 su user
2.4 cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.`uname -m`
2.5 cp configs/kernel-2.6.18-i686.config .config
2.6 make oldconfig
2.7 make menuconfig {here I left it as is and did not do any
modification since I am planning to include HDLC as a
module after build a complete custom kernel}
2.8 [user@host SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m`
kernel-2.6.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log
2.9 su
2.10/ rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm
and after the last command I have got the conflict warning above.
What is wrong in my installation procedure! :( Please help.
