Hi Paul, Sorry for not making this clear but I am already doing exactly what you mentioned in the e-mail. I install the module in the /extra directory and do "depmod -a" before running the "modprobe" command. Basically, that is as a part of my Makefile. To make things clear, this module is a kernel driver. I am able to see /var/X and dev/X being generated after the install step. This module requires GNU MP support, the existence of which I have already verified in /usr/lib and /usr/include. But I had a peek at the /var/log/messages and the problem seems to be with this configuration getting linked. Following is the snapshot from it: Jul 18 06:57:40 sld9 kernel: Modules linked in: tpm_emulator(U) nfs lockd parport_pc lp parport autofs4 rfcomm l2cap bluetooth sunrpc dm_mod video button battery ac md5 ipv6 joydev uhci_hcd ehci_hcd hw_random i2c_i801 i2c_core snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm snd_timer snd soundcore snd_page_alloc tg3 floppy ext3 jbd ata_piix libata sd_mod scsi_mod Jul 18 06:57:40 sld9 kernel: [<f8b28a98>] __gmpn_mul_basecase+0xd0/0x130 [tpm_emulator] Jul 18 06:57:40 sld9 kernel: [<f8b26e34>] __gmpn_kara_mul_n+0x384/0x70e [tpm_emulator] Jul 18 06:57:40 sld9 kernel: [<f8b26fce>] __gmpn_kara_mul_n+0x51e/0x70e [tpm_emulator] Jul 18 06:57:40 sld9 kernel: [<f8b28965>] __gmpn_mul_n+0x9e/0x101 [tpm_emulator] I am also in confusion with the output of the ld command, which I mentioned earlier, that is even giving me conflicts with basic kernel utilities such as printk and kfree. Please let me know if anything is unclear. i will be glad to provide you more information. bye, saurabh > > Try installing your module into a directory: > > /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra > > (you may need to create this directory) > > Then do: > > # depmod -a > > Then try your modprobe > > Paul. > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > >
