Re: Problem compiling LiS with ReHat 6.1

[David Grothe]

Gerry:

I have not tried a RH 6.1 yet, so the configure script could be fooled.

For troubleshooting purposes, here is what the Configure script does to "sense" whether the kernel was compiled with modules set:

1. If /usr/src/linux/vmlinux exists then it does an "nm" on it and greps for init_modules.
2. Else, if /usr/src/linux/.config exists then it looks for CONFIG_MODULES in that file.  If it is there and is set equal to "y" then we assume that modules are enabled.
3. Else, if /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h exists then it looks in there for "#define CONFIG_MODULES".  If found then it assumes modules.
4. Else, if /proc/ksyms contains the symbol unregister_chrdev_R (as a substring) then modules are assumed.
5. Else, it assumes no module support.

Can you poke around on your system and see which of these it failed on?

You can also hack the truth into LiS by editing the file /usr/src/LiS/config.in and putting in the following two lines, assuming both module support and mod-versions.

KMODULES=y
KMODVERS=y

Hi,

I'm trying to build LiS 2.6 with RedHat 6.1 and I'm running into the
following problem.

...
./ins_kpatch.sh
LiS direct link patch already in the kernel.
make -C /usr/src/LiS/drivers/str/linux
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/LiS-2.6/drivers/str/linux'
echo "Configured loadables, but no kernel module support." >&2
Configured loadables, but no kernel module support.
/bin/false
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/LiS-2.6/drivers/str/linux'
make: *** [/usr/src/LiS/drivers/str/linux/drivers.o] Error 2

However, i know that the kernel has module support as I've loaded other
modules. This is a "virgin" installation of RH6.1 and this same procedure
works perfectly under RH6.0. Any ideas?

TIA,

Gerry
