You're likely hitting one of two problems: 0) The default, original FC5 kernel does not allow non-GPL'd symbols. I don't think ndiswrapper is GPL's but I could be wrong 1) There's a bug in FC5 where the kernel and kernel-devel RPMs that get installed end up being mixed incorrectly, where you get i586 of the kernel and i686 of the kernel-devel (of vice versa). You need to manually install the matching RPM. On 8/17/06, Joe Byers <joe-byers@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I could use some help. I have an old HP Pavillion 6300 with and AMD K6 366 processor. My fedora version is 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 with uname - as i586 My first problem was trying to get my Dell 1180 Wireless USB adapter to work. Compiling ndiswrapper kept returning vermagic error and version errors. Dmesg said module struct mismatch. Trying to modprobe with -f locked the computer. From this problem I tried to compile my kernel with the K6 processor option and 4K buffer option off. Because, the src files from fedora had the 686 option selected. When I reboot I get multiple insmod errors for various XXX.ko modules, it can't find dev/misc, and others which causes a kernel panic. It does find the LVM partitions but can't seem to access them. I can not list all the output because the machine has no internet connection and I have to switch to my other computers to search the internet and post messages. So please forgive for not posting the various error dumps. Thank you Joe -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
