OK, that was not as bad as I had feared. This attachment makes two minor changes to BLCR that are sufficient for me to manually (e.g. not using DKMS) configure and build for the linux-2.6.31-9-rt kernel for Karmic/x86_64. These changes are such that I think it highly unlikely to break any other builds, though I have tried only compiling for the 2.6.31-9-rt and 2.6.31-16-generic kernels (in Karmic/x86_64).
Note that I have only RUN the resulting kernel modules with 2.6.31-16-generic. It would be helpful if the original reporter could apply this patch and verify that BLCR runs correctly with the -rt kernel. Since the -rt kernel is significantly different from -generic, and neither Alan nor I have looked at the -rt kernels before, there does exist the possibility that BLCR could compile fine but could fail at runtime (perhaps as badly as a kernel Oops or lock-up, so be careful). I would encourage Alan to wait for confirmation that this patch results in non-crashing BLCR kernel modules before pushing this patch to debian- unstable. It is my opinion that failing to configure/build is preferable to building a kernel module that crashes. -Paul (the primary BLCR developer) ** Attachment added: "patch01a" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40519615/patch01a -- package blcr-dkms 0.8.2-9 failed to install/upgrade: blcr kernel module failed to build against linux-rt kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/534175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
