The standard Coda module in the 2.6 kernels should work fine. The only
problems that you might encounter are that Fedora Core 3 doesn't seem to
build it by default, and any systems that use udev won't autoload the
module.
To work around the second problem, add an explicit modprobe coda in the
coda-client/venus.init startup script or add 'coda' to /etc/modules.
If your distribution kernel doesn't include a prebuilt module, then you
either have to rebuild the complete kernel from scratch, or build just
the Coda kernel module separately.
To build separately,
- Grab the latest linux-coda tarball,
wget http://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/linux/kernel/linux-coda-6.1.tgz
- Install your distribution's kernel-headers/kbuild packages,
Debian:
apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
Fedora Core 2 or 3:
According to http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/issue14.shtml ,
everything should have been installed along with the
kernel package.
Redhat 7.0 through 9 and Fedora Core 1:
Install the kernel-source rpm. You might have to copy the
configuration file that your kernel was built with and rebuild
the dependencies/module versions;
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
cp configs/config.??? .config
make oldconfig dep
In general:
Don't really know, but either the next step will just work out
of the box, or it is the install kernel-sources, figure out the
right config that was used to build your kernel, run make
oldconfig dep to rebuild dependencies.
- Extract linux-coda tarball, build and install the module;
tar -xvzf linux-coda-6.1.tgz
cd linux-coda-6.1
make
make install
- Finally check if the newly built module loads successfully
modprobe coda
dmesg | tail
# This should show something like,
# ...
# ... kernel: Coda Kernel/Venus communications, v6.1, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
