pcmcia support, debian 1.2, NEC versa 6030H

1997-04-23 Thread Dan Pritts
hi all, 

recently installed debian linux 1.2 on my NEC versa 6030H

after installing the .deb for pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules-2.0.27 (my
kernel, the default installed kernel, is 2.0.27 according to uname -a),
the card stuff comes up at boot time but tells me, among other errors:

 Loading failed!  The module symbols (from linux-2.0.27) don't match your
   linux-2.0.27

Any suggestions, short of grabbing the pcmcia source and building
it myself?

I do believe I have correctly loaded the kernel-2.0.27 package, although
I may be wrong.  

Anyone know if this is fixed in 1.3?  If so, and the late april
release for such will be on time, I'll just wait.

thanks,
danno

 hi all, 
 
 recently installed debian linux 1.2 on my NEC versa 6030H
 
 after installing the .deb for pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules-2.0.27 (my
 kernel, the default installed kernel, is 2.0.27 according to uname -a),
 the card stuff comes up at boot time but tells me, among other errors:
 
  Loading failed!  The module symbols (from linux-2.0.27) don't match your
linux-2.0.27
 

I am currently looking at the PCMCIA How-to and it says:

  If insmod reports ``wrong version'' errors, it means that the module
  was compiled for a different kernel version than your system is
  actually running.  This might occur if modules compiled on one machine
  are copied to another machine with a different configuration, or if
  the kernel is reconfigured after PCMCIA is installed.

  Another source of module loading errors is when the modules and kernel
  were compiled with different settings of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.  If a
  module with version checking is loaded against a kernel without
  version checking, insmod will complain about undefined symbols.

 Any suggestions, short of grabbing the pcmcia source and building
 it myself?

Hope this helps






Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

The error message is misleading, to say the least.  The problem is 
most likely that between the kernel and the modules, one is compiled 
with CONFIG_MOD_VERSIONS set and the other is not.  To fix it you 
could install the kernel sources, run make menuconfig, and 
compile the kernel and modules:

make dep
make clean
make zImage
[Test the new kernel.  I copy it to my dos partition and 
use loadlin.exe after booting Caldera opendos.]
make modules
make modules_install .

I have done this several times and I am 'C' illiterate.
