Hi all, I have a workgroup Qube (model 2700, aka headless qube) and have been resurrecting it thanks to Martin Michlmayr's tarballed image. So far, it works well with the stock hardware and a 300GB WD drive (plan to use it for archive). I was planning to use a 100mb card in the PCI slot, but haven't been able to find a modules tarball/package from which I can load a nic driver, hence the voyage into kernel building.
I've already installed the tools and have also installed the 2.4.27 kernel source and was merrily building a kpkg when I get this error: ---------------- lcd.o lcd.c lcd.c:554: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type lcd.c:561: error: `LCD_MINOR' undeclared here (not in a function) lcd.c:561: error: initializer element is not constant lcd.c:561: error: (near initialization for `lcd_dev.minor') ---------------- My first question is: Have a missed a patch? I thought I installed a cobalt source, so wouldn't it be already patched, or is this a case of making a wrong assumption? If the latter, can you point me in the right direction. Second question, is there another way around the original desire to get a loadable module for my via rhine 100Mb nic card? If so, I'd really appreciate it. Lastly, I tried Martin's 2.6.15 kernel, but couldn't make much progress because network services seemed to fail (remember, its headless so I have to pull the drive out and look at dmesg for clues). It seems the tulip card wasn't initializing properly. Anyhow, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Incidentally, I still have the skins off my box, so if somebody wants me to try something with this, let me know. Sincerely, Michael O.
