 Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:41 pm Post subject: some external kernel modules fail to build |
 |
|
I'm trying to upgrade to the 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 kernel from the 2.6.23-gentoo-r6 that I am running right now. The problem is that some of the external modules are failing to build against it. The madwifi driver and the alsa-driver are the ones that are causing problems.
I did change the /usr/src/linux symlink before doing the module-rebuild.
Here are the error messages that I am getting.

The die message:

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. |

Both of these are working in the 2.6.23 kernel. I can even re-compile them (after I change the kernel symlink back).
Any idea what would cause these errors? I can post my .config if someone wants it, but it does take up a lot of room if it is not needed.

| Replace the external alsa driver with the alsa driver that is in the kernel. |

Well, that might work for the sound card, but it won't do anything for the wireless network card.
It also doesn't explain why the drivers, which work fine on the earlier kernel, don't work with the new one. Did I set something up wrong? I know originally I had the ramdrive and tempfs options turned off. That made udev fail during boot. Slightly less than useful at that point.

I think that you will find the solution here.
Good luck! |
