Hi, well it's not exactly a lfs issue but a similar one in his structure.
I have a RedHat EL 5.5 installed on a HP Proliant DL 360 server. I actually need the 5.0 version but it's missing (at least) the NIC driver which is offered by HP as a rpm source. In any case I can't install the 5.0 system at all from the original CD. My problem now is, how do I build the driver on the 5.5 system for the 5.0 system and include it in a 5.0 install CD? I already have built a lfs a few months ago and also have heard about cross compiling. My question now is, do I need to build a new 5.0 system on my 5.5 system in the manner of the lfs project or is it enough to just build a cross compiler and then compile the driver source with this cross compiler. As I know the driver names ends up in .ko. Which files do I need additionally for the driver to work in the 5.0 system, like headers and alike? Any hints?
