Mikkel,
The first thing I would do is look in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-12mdk
and make sure you have the Makefile there.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r
2.6.11-12mdkcustom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
From the messages generated when you were trying to compile, it was
looking in /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-12mdk. and not
/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-12mdkcustom.
ls /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-12mdkcustom/
3rdparty/ fs/ kernel/ Module.symvers security/ vmlinux*
arch/ include/ lib/ net/ sound/
crypto/ init/ make-out.txt rsbac/ System.map

No.. I'ts not there. I have several kernel src's installed and the most
recent:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -l /usr/src/
total 20

There is a makefile in this directory. but in none of the others. Isn't
this unusual? I did compile a custom kernel for myself before I install
the 2.6.12 kernel? Could adding the latest source have something to do
with there not being a makefile for my currently compiled kernel?
Not realy. When you upgrade the kernel source RPM, it removes the old
source. But because there were files in the directories that were not
part of the origional RPM, the directories remain.
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct 25 20:16 RPM/

Here are my installed kernels'/kernel srcs':
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ lpkg kernel
kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.6.12.12mdk-1-1.SoS
kernel-multimedia-i686-up-4GB-2.6.11-7.mm.18.SoS.mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-12mdk
kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.11-7.mm.18.SoS.mdk
kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.6.11.12mdk-1-1mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Only kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-12mdk and
kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.11-7.mm.18.SoS.mdk are kernel source code.
The others are compiled kernels.
This should be the location
of the kernel source, and if it can not find a rule to make "modules"
then you have a big problem.
What I suspect is going on is that your kernel source is in a different
location.
Mikkel
Ok then dare I ask how big?>? :(
Thanks,
Terry
You have a couple of options here. Probably the best one is to compile a
new costum kernel from the latest source, install it, and reboot using
that kernel. Then compile the module. The source will match the running
kernel, and it should work fine. (You can copy your old custom config
file to the new source directory and run "make oldconfig".)
If you want to keep using the current kernel, then you will have to
re-install the old source package. I would save a copy of your custom
config file just in case. I don't remember if installing the source RPM
will overwrite it.
