Hey sluggers, I'm running woody with an older kernel - 2.2.20 and I've got a aureal vortex (au8810 chipset) PCI soundcard that I'm trying to get working, but I see to have hit a snag.
I've apt-got a package called au88xx-kernel-source along with the 2.2.20 kernel-source and kernel headers and also the kernel-package package I got through and try to use make-kpkg modules_image from the /usr/src/linux directory and I get the following.. make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/au88xx-kernel' gcc -M -I/lib/modules/2.2.20/build/include au_vortex.c > au_vortex.dep In file included from au_vortex.c:81: au_vortex.h:50: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [au_vortex.dep] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/au88xx-kernel' make[1]: [build-stamp] Error 2 (ignored) touch build-stamp dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_installdirs lib/modules/2.2.20/drivers/sound etc/devfs/devices.d make install AUCHIP=AU8810 MODULE_DIR="/usr/src/modules/au88xx-kernel/debian/au8 810-kernel-2.2.20/lib/modules/2.2.20/drivers/sound" make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/au88xx-kernel' gcc -M -I/lib/modules/2.2.20/build/include au_utils.c > au_utils.dep In file included from au_utils.c:40: au_vortex.h:50: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [au_utils.dep] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/au88xx-kernel' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/au88xx-kernel' Module /usr/src/modules/au88xx-kernel failed. Hit return to Continue It can't find the modversions.h, which appears to be there and in the correct place (from what I can tell) After extensive googling and a number of different suggested fixes (make sure your root, apt-get kerenl-headers, make a fake modversion.h, make sure you compile the kernel first. the error persists. I've checked and the file exists. I suspect possibly a "relative" directory problem but alas I haven't been beaten with enough cluesticks to know exactly where to look.. the make install etc line with the MODULE_DIR caught my eye but exactly how to go about fixing it is a little less clear. I DID see something in one place about the kernel being compiled with or without modeversions?? How did I determine this if this is actually something that exists?? Any help/explanations greatly appreciated. Dan. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
