Hi Mario, I can't seem to reproduce this either, but many things have changed in my environment. In any case, I'll just close this out for now. Thanks. ** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bu

Alex, Is this still actually necessary? I just made an attempt to reproduce your problem in a 32 bit natty chroot from a 64 bit lucid box using DKMS master as of today with a simple kernel module (nvidiabl) and couldn't reproduce it. supermario@serverman:~$ uname -a Linux serverman 2.6.32-31-ser

Mario, This bug has been sitting for a while, and I'd like to learn if you still have any objections to the proposed patch (and if so, why?). Thanks! -- allow 32-bit module build on 64-bit host https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of

As mentioned in IRC w/ tseliot, it's better to pass the right argument for the architecture from the template than it is to add individual hacks along the way. On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 11:54, Mario Limonciello wrote: > However some distros do support an i386 or i686 kernel build. I'm thinking >

Ok, I checked with mjg59. He says that the only difference between 386/586/686 flavors of RHEL is the kernel config, which leads to different compiler optimizations. The ARCH string has nothing to do with that. So passing either "i386" or "x86" to force a 32-bit build is perfectly safe, even for

i686 is 32 bit, so yes, you would want to pass i386 in that scenario. Only x86_64 is recognized as 64-bit. If it will reduce confusion for future maintainers, you could s/i386/x86/ in that patch. The kernel Makefile recognizes both "i386" and "x86" as "do a 32-bit build". -- allow 32-bit modul

I'm not convinced this patch is correct. What if you are building an i686 kernel? You shouldn't be applying i386 in that scenario. -- allow 32-bit module build on 64-bit host https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which
