I followed the standard steps I always follow
make menuconfig
make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install
make install
This all works fine.
I reboot with the new kernel and go to stage two - installation of the agpgart
module.
depmod -a (because it is a new kernal...)
rpm --rebuild i810xxx.src.rpm (I don't have the rpm name in front of me, I am
sending this from a different computer)
This installs agpgart.o into the modules directory.
I then follow the steps setting up the /dev/gart (with mknod)
and chmod it to the appropriate settings
The rebuild automatically modified the conf.modules for me.
I then shutdown and restart.
Everything is fine except that the system complains that agpgart has unsatified
dependancies and when I
insmod agpgart the dependancy list scrolls by and most refer to function calls
etc.
This all worked with a earlier cooker kernel but the newer cooker kernel has a
problem with it.
I am wondering if somthing has been done that puts the README's out of date in
respect to Mandrake or that I am missing somthing.
best regards
Dalton
