> martian: error: Common area unrecognized, no terminating signature -------- If you are still getting this error message after modifying the modem/mport.c file, the only explanation seems to be that the modification had an error (like martian instead of martiaN) or something trivial, such as forgetting 'make clean'. However, I feel that the martian modem is completely OK, but the real problem is that 2.6.24 doesn't want us to use (among many others) CPPFLAGS. It should still accept it and warn us when we use it but there seems to be a bug in that part of 2.6.24/build/Makefile. Probably it will be corrected, eventually, So the simplest full patch list that should make martian modem functional for 2.6.24 should be (starting from martian-full-20071011): --------------------- in kmodule/martian.c: replace SA_INTERRUPT | SA_SHIRQ, by IRQF_DISABLED | IRQF_SHARED, and in kmodule/Makefile replace CPPFLAGS += -DKMARTIAN_STAMP=20061202 by KBUILD_CPPFLAGS += -DKMARTIAN_STAMP=20061202 --------------------- Of course, with these patches it won't work with old kernels, so conditioning on kernel version (and perhaps using #define KMARTIAN_STAMP in martian.h instead of in CPPFLAGS?) would make sense.
