Well, There are 'invalid module format' errors trying to install the re-compile .ko files from '2.6.32.24'. Is there a version mis-match? If so how do I configure for generic and can I change the version? I need version '2.6.32-24-generic'. If that is the problem. I guess I could try to force the install.
Any ideas? Dan On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 12:16 AM, Dan Zulaica <dan.zulaica...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jeffrey, > > I finally found the version.h and autoconf.h files in the > include/linux directory.
