Re: modversions.h? Don't have it. Any solution?
Eric Dickner([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is reported to have said: Apparently I am not the first person to run into a problem regarding this particular header. A general web search revealed that all sorts of people have tried to compile drivers, found they needed but didn't have this thing, and then proceded to try all sorts of hacks. Are any of these hacks going to work? What should be done? I have kernel source headers, not debian_kernel_headers headers. Will I be forced to use those as well as the matching kernel package? Does this help?

Re: modversions.h
Hi, h, creative possble solutions have been given on this list. I found out that modversions.h is not zipped in the archive but generated when building a kernel: the new package needs to know which symbols to load? I think this is enough: cd /usr/src/linux cp /boot/config-yourkernelversion) make dep If all went well, modversions.h has been generated in /usr/src/linux/include/linux but I could be wrong.

However, I have had an occasion where I moved the existing directories to different names, eg., mv /usr/include/asm /usr/include/asm.orig created the links to the kernel source tree, eg., ln -s /usr/src/kernel-2.2.14/include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm done the compile and copied them back, eg. rm /usr/include/asm mv /usr/include/asm.orig /usr/include/asm Of course I don't ever recall having to do this for the kernel source. I think I even had a 2.2.x kernel running on slink, when I was running slink, and don't recall doing this. I certainly haven't had to do it under potato. Gary
