In fact there were only 2 problems: the paths to scripts/genksyms/genksyms and scripts/mod/modpost were incorrect under Debian. So, I did the following: # apt-get install linux-kbuild-2.6.30 linux-source-2.6.30 $ cd /usr/src $ atool -eqx linux-source-2.6.30.tar.bz2 $ cd linux-source-2.6.30 $ make oldconfig && make prepare $ perl -pi -e 's,= scripts/genksyms/genksyms,= /usr/src/linux-kbuild-2.6.30/scripts/genksyms/genksyms,' Makefile $ perl -pi -e 's,= scripts/mod/modpost,= /usr/src/linux-kbuild-2.6.30/scripts/mod/modpost,' scripts/Makefile.modpost Another thing I needed to do was to tell configure where the kernel source is: # perl -pi -e 's,/configure,/configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30,' /var/lib/dpkg/info/alsa-driver-linuxant.postinst # apt-get install -f and the postinst script succeeded. I've rebooted the machine, but there's another problem: audio programs no longer work. Before the installation, "lsmod | grep snd" was saying: snd_hda_codec_idt 62460 1 snd_hda_intel 26680 0 snd_hda_codec 75168 2 snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 8120 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 78440 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_seq 51312 0 snd_timer 21824 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 7476 1 snd_seq snd 63864 8 snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 7984 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9968 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm But now it returns nothing. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@xxxxxxxxxx> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
