Hi-
trying run debian in new dell poweredge server rather redhat. everything
workout fine until I get stuck in the networkcard problem.
Couldn't find the e1000 network card binary driver for the kernel 2.4.20
image. Then I'm trying to compile one for it. The result ... compile
fine but it's give me error while probe the module and after look into,
this is because the kernel image is 2.4.20 and the kernel source I have
in /usr/src/ and /usr/include is 2.4.18
So download the kernel-source-2.4.20.deb and patch it, it's seem like
it's the package only patch the source in /usr/src not /usr/include. so
while reload the network card driver again, it's said version not
compatible. And I had to manually modify the /usr/include/version.h
to linux version magic number
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132116
reload again, no version problem, but new error message said that
init_module error, possible cause by wrong module parameter, IO paramter
and IRQ parameter.
I guess the problem in in the header file /usr/include, and I just
wondering why while install kernel-source-2.4.20.deb is not replacing
the /usr/include and how to replace or install 2.4.20 header file in the
/usr/include without screw up the system and make my network card driver
compile and work.
