Hello Hello, I have run into a problem that has stumped me. I downloaded the kernel source for linux 3.3.4 and configured it the way I want it. I started by untarring the linux-3.3.4.tar.bz2 file then running
make mrproper make prepare make menuconfig After configuring I ran cat .config > myConfig.3.3.4 make bzImage After that finished I copied the kernel to my boot folder so I could boot it after building the modules, then started over again and ran make mrproper make prepare But this time I copied my config file to .config and ran make modules After a while it finished and I installed the modules via make modules_install depmod -a 3.3.4-mykernel Everything worked correctly with no errors. I rebooted and the system gave me constant errors saying xx kernel module could not be loaded because it was missing symbols. When I configured the kernel I included all the options necessary under Module versioning support, ie; (Module versioning support) MODVERSIONS=y (source checksum for all modules) MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL=y I assumed this was all I needed to make the modules work. Now I know you are going to say why didn't I just compile the kernel and modules together? I wanted to build the kernel and modules separately so I could have one kernel optimized for my netbook and one for my Core2Duo without having to recompile everything. I wanted to tar it all up and copy it over. But the kernels and modules will not work together on either system. So what gives? I googled around but only found old documents talking about this, is there something new with 3.3.4? I have done this before with older kernels before the 3 series, but I have not attempted since 3.x has come out. I appreciate all your advice! -- Regards, Nathan England ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NME Computer Services http://www.nmecs.com Nathan England ([email protected]) Systems Administration / Web Application Development Information Security and Consulting (480) 559.9681
