Kernel reconfiguration for Fedora Core 3 on an AMD64 14/02/2005 The following procedure to create the dmx3191d.ko module was undertaken; please read the end of the following file:- Work within a terminal. su password vi /etc/sysconfig/kernel (Check that line beginning with UPGRADEDEFAULT ends in YES. If not, delete no and change to YES). mkdir /usr/src/redhat mkdir /usr/src/redhat/Build mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS mkdir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES mkdir /usr/src/redhat/SPECS (Obtain a src.rpm.kernel from either the source CD on via the internet by commant: up2date --get-source kernel ). rpm -i /home/malcolm/kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm (Use your own path). vi /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec ( change line #define buildsmp 1 =to 0) This saves disk space if no multi-processor. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec cp /boot/kernel-config /path/kenel-config cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 make gconfig make modules make modules_install depmod -a make clean make bzImage # /sbin/insmod -f /lib/modules/2.6.9- prep/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.9- prep/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module Could some one please tell me where I have gone wrong! I thought the new kernel would be automatically be selected. -- -- Malcolm Candlish <bm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
