Hi Fabrice, The last thing that I read from Jacques on this was, "Don't do kernel work under UML slink". Unfortunately I was unable to find his original message to refer you to but in a nutshell it said to do your kernel work on a traditional Linux installation.
Hope this helps, Eric Kiser -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:leaf-devel-admin@;lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Fabrice LABORIE Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 11:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [leaf-devel] UML development slink filesystem missing kernel headers Hi, here are some updates trying to compile a USB-Modem driver ( but still NO solutions )! Since the kernel header didn't come in the root_fs_slink, I decided to download the kernel source into my UML devel box ;-) Since the kernel source uncompressed didn't fit, I created a BIG_root_fs_slink identical to the original but 400MB large (by basically using dd,mkfs, mount -o loop , cp -a ,nmount ) Running a make menuconfig and a make dep inside the UML created the missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h . Great ... BUT - trying to compile my USBdrivers show some problems in the kernel header ( /usr/src/linux/include/linux/kernel.h in particular ... but then plenty of other problem) - trying to compilego further in the kernel compilation shows the same error messages. so i was wondering if I should follow the steps given in chapter 5 "How to build an UML kernel for LEAF" it would make sense ..: maybe the problem above was that I was tring to build a i386 kernel ( or at least get the matching headers ) in a ARCH=um environment... trying to follow those steps, I applied all the patched ( bering+uml) ( replaced the make xgo in freeswan-X.XX by make menugo root_fs_slink didn't come with "wish") ... but as soon as you save the ".config" file from the freeswan error message started to flow :( and also error messages when typing the make linux ARCH=um ... I also tried to skip the freeswan part .... going directly to the make linux ARCH=um but no luck same kind of error message :( bottom line ... i am a bit stuck now :( any suggestion ? thanks fabrice. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fabrice LABORIE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 1:49 PM Subject: UML development slink filesystem missing kernel headers > Hi guys, > > I am trying to compile the drivers for a Aztech 56K USB modem... > This is my 1st attempt to play with UML > > the USB/linux drivers from http://www.smlink.com/download were working on my > previous > machine RH7.3 ( I also gave it a try with the compilation on RH80.
