Bug#358580: linux-2.6: cannot build modules against 2.6.16
Richard, you said you were able to build fglrx. Did you make something special ? I also tried without module-assistant, but cannot figure out why it is looking for Makefile.lib.c file. That module builds fine for me, in fact so far it's the only one that does against 2.6.16. bcm5700 doesn't, thinkpad smapi doesn't, nvidia doesn't (though that's because of something in the nvidia driver itself, not the kernel headers package). While in 2.6.15 I did: m-a clean all m-a -l 2.6.16-1-686 - update - prepare - select - - get - - build - - install sudo module-assistant -t build fglrx Warning, /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1 seems to contain unconfigured kernel source! I do still get this warning, and it is probably part of the problem, but it seems the flgrx module builds differently (i.e. doesn't use the kernels own module build makefile) so it does work. To avoid this bug getting distracted if you still can't get it to build I'd raise it against that component, and if it does relate to this bug then the maintainer can hopefully draw some attention to this one. So far there has been no response from any of the kernel team to this bug. Richard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'am having similar problems (still with 2.6.16-4). I successfully built madwifi but cannot build fglrx-8.23.7 (see below). I have no problems 2.6.15. Richard, you said you were able to build fglrx. Did you make something special ? I also tried without module-assistant, but cannot figure out why it is looking for Makefile.lib.c file. sudo module-assistant -t build fglrx Warning, /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1 seems to contain unconfigured kernel source!

Bug#358580: linux-2.6: cannot build modules against 2.6.16
Package: linux-2.6 Severity: important Unable to build some modules against the new 2.6.16 headers package. Here is the top of the output from trying to build the tp_smapi module against 2.6.15 16: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tp_smapi-0.17# make install make -C /lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686/build M=/root/tp_smapi-0.17 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-1-686' CC [M] /root/tp_smapi-0.17/tp_base.o CC [M] /root/tp_smapi-0.17/tp_smapi.o [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tp_smapi-0.17# make install make -C /lib/modules/2.6.16-1-686/build M=/root/tp_smapi-0.17 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686' sed: can't read tp_smapi.c: No such file or directory It appears the modules makefile no longer changes directory correctly to the location specified by M. Additionally module assistant gives the following warning on start (though was able to build the fglrx module): Warning, /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1 seems to contain unconfigured kernel source! I assume this is probably related.
