Can't open /lib/modules/xxx

Hi All, I re-compile the kernel under unbuntu, the fs configured with not modular. The steps are guided by README, such as make/make modules_install/mkinitram. Any recommand is welcomed! BR Cheney

Where does dmesg read from ? directly from the proc file system ??? -- Thanks regards, Onkar Mahajan

Re: DMESG query

Hi Onkar, There is sys message logger deamon will capture the message printing on the screen and passing into buffer. Regards, Ravi On Wed, 2008-01-23 at 19:26 +0530, Onkar wrote: Where does dmesg read from ? directly from the proc file system ??? -- Thanks regards, Onkar Mahajan --

Porting linux kernel on Xilinx FPGA board

Hi, I need to port a customized linux kernel on the latest Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA based board (PowerPC architecture). However, my question relates more to the Xilinx FPGA technology (EDK etc.) than the kernel. Considering that this is a completely new board, what all EDK related things I'll need

usbmon info

Hi all, Does anyone know (and have any examples) of how I can obtain the data captured by the usbmon module without having to look at the /sys/kernel/debug/ files. Is there a userland API for usbmon? I don't want to have to parse a bunch of files to get the information I need. I've been reading

Re: DMESG query

the information returned by the dmesg command is held in memory by the kernel. dmesg reads the buffer called kernel ring buffer which contains the boot-up messages in memory. If the buffer gets filled it overwrites its buffer On Jan 23, 2008 7:26 PM, Onkar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where does

Re: Best way to learn assembly ?

I once read Jeff Duntemann's Assembly Language Step-by-step when learning asm. Not only is a fun book to read, but you can learn a lot about the memory mechanics of the x86 arquitecture (even if you're not into asm programming). I strongly suggest it.

Rene, If you look at the comment preceding that bit, you'll see it say that the code is mostly (?) position independent and although I don't know ARM assembly nor have an ARM toolchain installed, I bet that if you look at the actual generated code, you'll see it generating the branch target as a

Re: Question on kernel startup

The vast majority of it probably is, some of it isn't and it'll depend on the architecture... So isn't there a thick line that this code is PIC and this is not? What I understand is that on any arch code, which runs before enabling paging unit must be PIC. Is that correct? And one more question -
