Hi, I'm fairly new to the gentoo world but something weird happens to me.
Well, after reading several howto's here for the 3C940 ethernet device, it happens that there are 2 drivers that could make it work.
I tried to install them separately, first of all here's how I'm doing all that
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
Device Drivers ----> Network device Support ----> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) ----> <M> Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx Support
Then I exit menuconfig (It saves the changes)
After that, I do
time make -j2
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel
and then reboot.
Once everything is restarted ifconfig -a only shows me the lo device, I then try : modprobe sk98lin and it tells me...
FATAL: Error inserting sk98lin (/lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/sk98lin/sk98lin.ko): Invalid module format
the same thing happens when I choose New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support in the menuconfig
(well, the error still says invalid module format, but it's skge instead of sk98lin in the path )
Please, help me
Thanks in advance
EDIT : Ok I solved that problem, a simple : cat /var/log/messages showed me that the skge module vermagic had no SMP support, so I had to de-activate it, and now it works |
