Hi all, I am trying to compile a custom kernel for the usual reasons. I am not seeing any errors during the compile, installation or boot phases, but some of the modules won't install. Here are the steps I took to compile the kernel:
mv /lib/modules/2.0.27 /lib/modules/2.0.27.old mv /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old cd /usr/include mv asm asm.old mv linux linux.old mv scsi scsi.old ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi (linux is a symbolic link to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27 it was a link to /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.0.27 but both give the same errors) make mrproper make xconfig make dep make clean make zImage make modules make modules_install cp /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27/arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz edit /etc/lilo.conf so I have a backdoor if this crashes run LILO edit /etc/modules so that only auto is uncommented reboot login as root $depmod -a $insmod psaux misc_register undefined misc_deregister undefined Loading failed! The module symbols (from linux-2.0.27) don't match your linux-2.0.27 $modprobe psaux Initialization of psaux failed $insmod misc $insmod psuax Cannot open /lib/modules/misc/psuax.o Checking the datestamp confirms that it was compiled along with the other modules that work. psaux isn't the only module that fails to load, but hpfs and ppp work fine. I can dig through all of the modules and see exactly which ones work and which ones don't if that would help. If an strace of insmod would help I can include that also, but that would have made this message huge. All of the important parts of the system are Debian/GNU. Any clues? I'm relativly new at this, but having a great time learning all of the ins and outs.
