[newbie] kernel-source-2.6-10

2005-01-05 Thread SnapafunFrank
In the past, whenever I wanted to compile a `new` kernel, I would first 
up do:

# urpmi kernel-source-2.6-n
Then do:
# urpmi kernel
The kernels were not the latest release and of course rpm's were available.
Because of my usb concerns I thought I would `install` kernel-2.6-10 - 
knowing I would have to compile from linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2.

So first thing, read the README at least, and straight off I'm lost, 
though later it looks like my usual one step at a time approach will get 
there.

Here's were I'm lost:
"- If you install the full sources, put the kernel tarball in a
  directory where you have permissions (eg. your home directory) and
  unpack it"
OK - no prob with that.
"Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! "
Again, no prob, sort of covered that, I thought.
"- Make sure you have no stale .o files and dependencies lying around:
   cd linux
   make mrproper
  You should now have the sources correctly installed."
Huh! But I've only unpacked the bz2 file into my home directory - how 
can anything be installed at this point?

Just in case I'm having a braindead week :
"BUILD directory for the kernel:
  When compiling the kernel all output files will per default be
  stored together with the kernel source code.
**[ Fair enough ]**
  Using the option "make O=output/dir" allow you to specify an alternate
  place for the output files (including .config).
  Example:
kernel source code:/usr/src/linux-2.6.N
build directory:/home/name/build/kernel
** [ Possibly not something I might require but better remember, just in 
case ] **

  To configure and build the kernel use:
  cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.N
** WOAH - WAIT UP- where in blue blazes did the directory 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.N come from - yes. I have directories for previous 
versions here but certainly not this one yet.

So right now I have the bz2 file in my /home/frank/src/ directory, have 
it unpacked and I thought ready to go?

So I go back and re-read things and find:
" If you install the full sources. "
Right back at the beginning. The only file I have found is the bz2 file, 
how can I have already installed the full sources. I thought they were 
part and parcel of the bz2 file and as yet had to be installed.

Lost - braindead - BOTH.  Any one want to do the rear seat kicking here?

Actually, 9.2 didn't include the kernel source on the CD's (for whatever 
reason). Your only option is to download it from the web...

The update site carries the latest version.  Kernel updates come generally 
because of security problems, so you should get the latest kernel anyway.  
Don't attempt to 'upgrade' the kernel, just install the new one.  An 
additional stanza will be added to lilo.conf and you will be able to select 
either kernel from lilo, if you do have problems (which is not very likely).  
Then get the matching source.

[newbie] Kernel source for 9.2??

2004-12-28 Thread cervixcouch
I feel kinda doofy asking this, but where do I find the kernel source from
the installation CDs?  I'm trying to install software that needs to find
it in /usr/src/linux.

I've looked at all three CDs but haven't seen anything that appears to be
the source for my kernel (2.4.22.10mdk).  When I went into MCC and did a
search for 'kernel' in the package manager, I got a higher kernel version
than the one I have.

What is the kernel src called on the disks?  Is it called something
obscure, like "bimbos-on-juice.2.4.22.10mdk", and I'm just too braindead
to catch it???

Yeah, I know I can download it from various places online, but I assumed
it would be installable from the installation CDs, like it was in 7.2.

RE: [newbie] Kernel SOurce

2004-11-17 Thread Manaxus
Hi guys, thanks for the responses.

I checked in /usr/src/linux before I wrote to the list and there were no
symlinks and there were no /usr/src/name_of_kernel-source.mdk either. 

I went back to my install of 10.0 and verified that it should be there
so I am assuming that even though I selected to install kernel sources,
it didn't. 

Thanks anyway.

Try /usr/src/linux - it should be a symlink to the real source directory
tree in /usr/src.  The actualy .c files are spread amoung different
subdirectories branching from there.  The drivers are fairly well devided
up by type, with some drivers having their own subdirectory...

[newbie] Kernel SOurce

2004-11-17 Thread Manaxus








Hello,

 

I am trying to work with version 9.1 with respect to device
driver development and I chose to install kernel source upon installation but I
cannot find ANY .c file. The headers are there, but none of the .c’s.

 

When I searched I was logged in as root user, searching from
the / directory and I issued the following command:

Find –name swapfile.c –mount

 

This is the same for all .c files. 

 

Can anyone enlighten me as to where the source code is at?

 

Thanks.

Hi Sevatio. The kernel-source-2.x.x.rpm file is the one you want for building 
other files which depend on the kernel header files - that's the source code 
that was actually used to build the kernel, in a ready to install module. 
What you do with that source is pretty much up to you.

The kernel-2.x.x.src.rpm file is used to actually build the RPM's which make 
up the kernels for your system PLUS the kernel-source RPM. When you rebuild 
it using rpmbuild, it will generate a regular kernel, an SMP kernel, an 
enterprise kernel, a kernel capable of handling memory up to 4 gigs, and the 
RPM file for the kernel-source as well. So, for the sake of simplicity, you 
want the kernel-source.

Ok after some googling I found these instructions.
For kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp you need the stripped kernel source, don't 
do anything to it.  This is an nvidia installer problem.
Now in a term as root run the installer like this 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --x
This will extract the installer files into a directory.
Now with your favorite editor go to /usr/src/nv.c
In this file go to line 3697 and change PM_SAVE_STATE to PM_SUSPEND_MEM
Then get into run level 3 and go to the directory where the nvidia 
installer was extracted and run as root ./nvidia-installer 
--kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-10mdk
This will install the drivers.
Now this is important,  before you get back into run level 5 edit the 
file /etc/modprobe.preload and add "nvidia" on a line by itself, save 
the file then boot back into run level 5 and enjoy.

Hope this can help someone.

Well,  so far I have tried both the stripped and the regular 
kernel-source and both have produced the same results,,  with both I am 
at least able to install the nvidia 5336 version of the driver but x 
wont start complaining that it cant find any screens.  I have tried 
Randall's approach with three versions of the installer but each time 
it will not rebuild the custom installer.
So here is what I'm running once again.  Mandrake 10.1 Community with 
kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp which is running real nice.  Video is a asus 
V9570 TD FX 5700 256mb ddr.
I have tried to install the drivers under single processor kernel as 
well with the same results.
Im beginning to think its a kernel or kernel source problem at this 
point but im going to try this on another computer,  a p3 800 with a 
older nvidia card just to see what happens as soon as I have some time.
Will let you all know how it goes.

You can remove the 'wrong' source and try kernel-source-stripped. You 
can always just use urpme / urpmi to revert to the original 
configuration I think.

Good luck!

I have only one question that has not been clear to me.
uname -r tells me my kernel is 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp
so for the set EXTRAVERSION part would I put
2.6.8.1-10mdksmp or
-10mdksmp ?

Hi Dan. When you reinstalled the source, did you prep it? If not, that might
cause you some problems. I'm sorta' throwing together a "tute" page for
this, so if you want me to send it to you let me know and I'll send you the
link (it's at a temporary location right now, but will be made "publicly

No problem Randall,  well I was waiting i did a fresh install and

before making any changes to anything i went ahead and tryed to run the

Morning Dan. Sorry for the late reply - but Monday mornings come really early 
for me, so I've got to get a little rest before coming to the office ;-)

OK, do me a favor. Please post the output from the next couple of commands 
when you have time:

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel

This should list off the kernel packages you have installed...

$ uname -r

This will list the kernel version you are currently using.

Then, how about also posting the contents of /var/log/nvidia-installer.log as 
well. This might give us more information than what the installer is giving 
you (it tends to be a little terse when giving out info, but the log file 
helps you figure out what's actually going wrong).

This should help us find something that might be causing the problem.

Hi Dan. Out of curiousity, what's the permissions on the 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run file? Do the following:

# stat NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run

You should see something like:

Change: 2004-10-05 21:55:03.0 -0500

If the executable bit isn't set, you won't be able to execute it, no matter 
which user you're trying to run it with. To correct it, simply type:

# chmod 0755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run

Then you should be able to execute the file without any problems.

Let me know if that's indeed the problem, or if we should dive a little deeper

Hi Dan. After preparing your source code (using the method I sent you 
earlier), go to your directory where you have the NVidia drivers. Run the 
file like so:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --add-this-kernal

This will add your current kernel to the setup, and it will generate a new 
NVidia driver file. After that, go into init 3:

# init 3

Then run the newly created file:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1-custom.run

This will install the driver, and all you'll need to do is modify the 
XFree86Config-4 file to load the 'nvidia' module.

I tryed this but when trying to install nvidia drivers the error I get is 
something about not being able to determin the source version.
I have had these problems with smp before so i think im just going to 
reinstall with a regular kernel and source and try again.
Thanks for the info I may try this again soon but right now I need things

Hi Dan. That's what you need. Grab that, then install it. Then go into 
the /usr/src/linux directory, and do as follows:

# make mrproper
# cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
# make oldconfig
# vi Makefile (set the EXTRAVERSION to what you have)

Your kernel source should then be properly prepared for your kernel, and 
you'll be good to go.

You can install VMWare via the RPM, but you're still going to have to
compile the "patch" for it in order to even run

If you get VMware 4.5.2 from vmware website, you don't need the patch.  It

HarM;

I think we both forgot to say "in a terminal type..." I say "we both forgot" 
because I almost sent this without that detail. 

I also think uname -a might panic a newbie as soon as all the "unknown 
unknown, etc" stuff appears. I usually tell people to use uname -r instead. 
Less confusion generated. Example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nanook]$ uname -a
Linux h24-66-233-146 2.4.22-21mdk #1 Fri Oct 24 22:43:28 MDT 2003 i686 unknown

Well, for some reason they aren't on the dowmload edition CD's but can be had 
on the net.

Try some of the mandrake mirrors or add one to your urpmi sources (if your 
connection can take it) through the plf site

then pick the one that goes with the one you use (do: "uname -a" to see which

Yes look in software manager in "installable" in the flat list or search for 
"kernel" and you'll find it.  It should be on CDROM2 of the download edition

Re: [newbie] Kernel source question...

2002-03-31 Thread Rodrigo

Hi, I don't know if it will solve your problem, but it is worth to try. 
Take a look at the README file provided by Nvidia's tarball. If I 
remember correctly, you have to pass an argument, like "make 
SYSINCLUDE=/path-to-your-kernel-sources-include-directory, when you 
compile the driver for a different kernel.
Before doing it, you have to install kernel-sources and kernel-headers. 
You can also get the source rpms from Nvidia's website, they worked fine 
for me.
Hope it helps you, regards,

Rodrigo

[newbie] Kernel source question...

2002-03-30 Thread Ronald J. Hall

Okay, I just updated my system by adding a 60 gig IBM hard drive. So...I had to
reinstall everything (v8.1) from the ground up. No problem, its been pretty
solid so far on my 30 gigger.

Everything went well until I hit video. I've got a 64 meg Nvidia Geforce 2
Titianium video card. I picked Xfree v4.10 with accel., but when I did a
"startx" it errored out. I reinstalled, picked XFree v4.10 with no accel.,
figuring I could install the usual Nvidia tarballs, which I had done before
under 8.0 and my last HD with v8.1...

I get this message:

/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error Modules should never use
kernel-headers system headers,
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error but headers from an appropriate
kernel-source
make: *** [nv.o] Error 1

Okay, this makes me think that the kernel headers were not installed on my
system. One of my questions is; why? This is the same kind of install I've done
since 7.0 and always, always all the necessary kernel stuff was installed. I've
never had a problem installing the Nvidia drivers. 

Now my last question is...how/where do I install what I need? I went to the
software (RPM) manager, and under installed, kernel docs/headers/source are
already listed so...where does that leave me?

Thanks in advance...

[newbie] Kernel source

2001-11-16 Thread Warren Post

I need to have a configured kernel source in /usr/src/linux/ before I
can install my winmodem's drivers. (So says section 5 of the howto at
http://www.medres.ch/~jstifter/linux/pctel.html). LM 8.1 CD2 appears to
have just what I need:
\Mandake\PRMS2\kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk.i586.rpm, which matches my
installed kernel.

But how? Software Manager can't see it. KPackage sees it, but aborts
with a list of dependencies I must first install... and cannot find the
dependenices. So I read man and info for rpm, but only confused myself.
What's the command I need to rpm this source to where I need it?

Thanks,
Warren

  I may be recompiling soon because I'm wiping my W2k & replacing
it with W98, so I had to install the kernel & the kernel headers
too.

  I don't remember reading if lm7.0 or 7.1 (don't know which
version you have, & I came from RH to lm7.2) has drakconf (think
so, though).  Anyway, if you ~do~ have drakconf, open it & use
the Software Update icon.  In there, you set it to read from CD
(or, you can get it from one of the mirrors), & choose both the
kernel source & kernel headers (can't remember if the headers are
actually needed for recompiling.  I'm pretty sure, but they don't
take all that much space & some apps will need them if you
install from tar).

  Then, just go to the directory where they install to & start
your make xconfig.
