RJ RE: (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/extra/slamr.ko): Invalid module format ---- My fault. I did a driver compile for someone else with a gcc-4.0 compiler and forgot to change back to gcc-4.1 used to compile 2.6.17-10-generic kernel THe compilers must match. I'll do the fix and send it to your & Jacques shortly. MarvS On 2/4/07, Jacques Goldberg <Jacques.Goldberg@xxxxxxx> wrote:
Rob, You have two choices: 1-wait until Marv boards off his flight and can logon. 2-try my educated guess. To me it is clear that the setup script is incorrect because from your log the dkpg -i *.deb clearly needs to find in place some *.ko files which the startup script want to copy to that place after running dkpg! Indeed that stage of copying the module is not reached at all in your log. So, my harmless suggestion, if you are impatient, is to REMOVE the directory slamr-2.6.17-10-generic because if you just untar the tar.gz file you ADD/REPLACE the contents of that file in the folder, thus keeping things which may be well be wrong. The command, to be given while being in folder misc , is rm -r slamr-2.6.17-10-generic Next restart from there with tar zxf slamr-2.6.17-10-generic.tar.gz cd slamr-2.6.17-10-generic.tar Save in that folder the modified version of setup which I named jgsetup, attached to this mail. Apply Marv's instructions except that you type jgsetup where he wrote setup . CAVEAT: I am a COMPLETE ignorant in matters of Debian/Ubuntu/KUbuntu which I have never used (installed KUbuntu to see, in view of success among users, found nothing better that what I use, dropped it away as I do not need two ways to do the same thing).
