Hi all, OK, I wget the latest kernel (linux-2.6.0-test7) and try to commpile it, but I bump into some errors so I decided to compile only the modules by this RTFM http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/loadable_modules.html#AEN285
and the when insmod the 8139too.o I got this msg: .....8139too.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for As I read more in this document I see that there is a way to outsmart this problem by define the register_chrdev as the register version of my working kernel, BUT genksyms appears to work in version Versions 2.1.18 and lower... So I google some more, and fine an article that describe, more or less, my kind of issue... They recommend to add #define __NO_VERSION__ to the file before the include's, so I did, and nothing.... And the last test I did is I copy the include/linux/version.h (the origilal) and replaced the version.h in my new kernel dir, also, not a big success story :-).... Help any one...
