good afternoon, gentlemen (and ladies if need apply)

i have recentley merged the hcfpcimodem driver, but something strange arose...

here's how it went (i used the command line, since i need my internet set up to download the guis)

*attempt #1 (using genkernel)*

input: hcfpciconfig

command line: *useless text*

no pre-built modules for unknown-unknown linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686-smp

trying to automatically build the driver modules *some text about needing a c compiler to do such... which i have)

[/lib/modules/2.6.12-blahblahblah/build]

input: return key

building modules for kernel-blahblahblah

command line: error: module build failed

error report: (same error report as the first attempt, just the kernel's directory is different)

(cd /usr/src/linux && make "CNXT_KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux" "M=/usr/lib/hcfpcimodem/modules" clean)

*attempt #2(using /usr/src/linux, some form of generic gentoo kernel, i believe)*

input: same as attempt #1
command line: same as attemt #1
command line: [lib/modules/kernel-blahblahblah/build]
input: /usr/src/linux
command line:same output
error message: same output but was being built in different directory

*attempt #3 (using a customisable kernel from the cd-rom)*

input: same as attempt 1+2
command line: same as 1+2
command line:[lib/modules/kernel-blahblahblah/build]
input: /usr/src/linux-2.6.12blahblahblah
command line:same output
error message:same output but in different directories

what is this "slot_name", is this a kernel, bug? i'm really short on time so i've been attemping nothing but quickfixes (new kwernel, copying files from the cd-rom, etc

i'm really losing my patience, and my hair fixing this... i'd really appreciate some help.

cheers

I'm not sure but it may be that a kernel update at some point rendered the drivers incompatible - does the readme in fact say it works on 2.6.12?

yes it does...

it says 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, i'm using 2.6.12-gentoo-r6

i also have an asus jumper free motherboard, with an intel coppermine pIII... does the asus board need specific modules to run this driver? because i've been trying to find the "slot_name" module in menuconfig, but i can't find it... should i download another, newer kernel?

Perhaps try a vanilla kernel - surely they tested with that.

thanks for your help... unfortunatley, my time slot to install the operating system has expired, and i've been forced to switch back to fedora core III if any administrator is reading this, please remove my acount, since it's useless now.

sorry to inconvenience you BradN
