Module problems!
hello, I had been reading the Linux Device Drivers,and tried running the first program. #define KERNEL #include ... ...init_module(...) . when I do insmod prog.o it says the program has been compiled to run on kernel 2.2.5 and the running kernel is 2.2.10. Sure! I have 2.2.10 kernel running but I am not able to understand the 2.2.5 business. Itried installing an older kernel and recompiled it,with no useful result.Please help!

A small help needed in Opti931 sound card configuration
Hello, I need some help in setting up an OPTi82C931 based soundcard. What I did was,I downloaded the evaluation version of OSS (20 minute version),and got it working in the single shot. Using it I made a note of the IRQ's and DMAs and the io addresses.Then I uninstalled it and compiled the kernel(2.2 .10)with the options specified in the Documentaion/sound/Opti file in the kerne l docs.My isapnp.conf looks like this. -- # (DEBUG) (READPORT 0x0203) (ISOLATE ) (IDENTIFY *) (CONFIGURE OPT0931/-1 (LD 1 (IO 0 (BASE 0x0530)) (IO 1 (BASE 0x0388)) (IO 2 (BASE 0x0220)) (IO 3 (BASE 0x0e0c)) (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E))) (DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0)) (DMA 1 (CHANNEL 3)) (ACT Y) )) #mpu (CONFIGURE OPT0931/-1 (LD 3 (IO 0 (BASE 0x0330)) (INT 0 (IRQ 9 (MODE +E))) (ACT Y) )) # End tag... Checksum 0x00 (OK) (CSN 1 (LD 0 (REG 2 (POKE 4 # to make it non-PnP # Returns all cards to the "Wait for Key" state (WAITFORKEY) My conf.modules look like this . . ; . ; #alias off # some aliases for the Opti sound alias mixer0 mad16 alias audio0 mad16 alias midi0 mad16 alias synth0 opl3 options sb mad16=1 options opl3 io=0x388 options mad16 irq=5 dma=0 dma16=3 io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 mpu_irq=9 post-install mad16 /root/ad1848_mixer_reroute 14 8 15 3 16 6 . . . etc Is there anything else needed??? The program ad1848_mixer_reroute.c was compile d and put in the root directory.While running it I got the output "/dev/mixer: no such device".The device exists,but the driver is unable to initialze it seem s. Can you please help me in pointing out the problem?? regards Ramakrishnan M World Wide Web: http://www.ee.iitm.ernet.in/~ee98m09 -- "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Kernel Version problems!
Hello, I am trying to build a module.The compilation works fine,but while loading the module I get the message" the kernel versionis 2.2.10 but the module was compiled on 2.2.5". Itried compiling with -I/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.10/.. etc without any useful output. At last I found out the culprit.The libc-dev package installs the /usr/include/linux directory which contains a version.h file.It has a line saying #define UTS_VERSION 2.2.5.I think this line is causing the problem. But the same file in the kernel-headers-2.2.10 is written correctly.I can always load the module using insmod -f.But how to solve this problem? Does this mean a libc6-dev exists for every new kernel release?

from a newbie
Hi, I am new to Debian GNU/Linux.Until now I had been using RedHat Linux system( now also in my institute I am using it).But thanks to afew friends who introduced me to Debian system.I want to explore more on them. One thing which attracted me to Debian system is the scripts it gives for allmost any task.For example,I was looking for a command to delete a particular daemon from being activated at a particular runlevel.One of my friends(Mr Raghavendra Bhat,VU2RGU who is also in this list) suggested me to use the command "update-rc.d" . It is an excellent command and I am sure that a number of such command exists. Can any body please suggest me a good online guide which tells me about these type of tips and tricks?I downloaded Debian User Guide,but that is not the one I am looking for.

I think it is bacause,your Debian system has libc6 installed whereas netscape requires libc5.So install libc5 compatibility paclage from your Debian CD. ramOO --- Ramakrishnan M #211 ,Cauvery hostel, Indian Institute of Technology,Madras, Chennai-600 036, INDIA " Software is like sex;It's better when it's free " -Linus Torvalds ---

For graph, I use Python to analyze the data, and You can use scilab.Scilab is a mathematical analysis and signal processing tool which can do a lot of things.It is available from www-rocq.inria.fr/scilab/ scilab can produce good plots and you can plug it in latex files.

You would have noticed this message after putting the kernel 2.2.X.In these kernels the route add command is not needed.So remove this line from /etc/networks or something ( i do not remember the file.The file contains two entries,one with ifconfig and another route add.Just comment the second line).That's all.Reboot. I am not an expert in this and infact I read about this from an old debian user list. --- Ramakrishnan M #211 ,Cauvery hostel, Indian Institute of Technology,Madras, Chennai-600 036, INDIA " Software is like sex;It's better when it's free " -Linus Torvalds ---

make-kpkg problems
Hello, I have been using make-kpkg for a long time for compiling kernels and making deb packages. Yesterday when I made a deb package, I got a deb package kernel-image-..._1.00.deb instead of kernel-image-2.2.12_1.00.deb I upgraded kernel-package from the unstable tree but it did not help. The documentation says make-kpkg will read from the Makefile to get the current kernel version and we have to worry only about the revision numbers. Help??
