Fedora 13 PAE Kernel and realtec driver compilation problem.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  Short version.
OS: Fedora 13
Kernel: 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE
Hardware: Lenovo x100e
Problem:Trying to build drivers for realtec wireless lan.

When I tried to build drivers initally with 
rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010 every time I would try to load the 
driver with modprobe it would error and say " Invalid module format"

  modprobe r8192se_pci
FATAL: Error inserting r8192se_pci 
(/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/r8192se_pci.ko): 
Invalid module format

I modified /usr/src/kernel/2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686/Makefile and changed
  EXTRAVERSION = .7-61.fc13.i686
TO
  EXTRAVERSION = .7-61.fc13.i686.PAE

I then did "make modules" which generated a new version of version.h & 
utsrelease.h which had the correct PAE version in it. The build error 
out after that.

Went back to my sources and did a make clean, make and then make install.

modprobe r8192se_pci now cause a core dump.

I have built kernels in the past but it has been a long time and never 
had to build a PAE version. What else would be required for me to change 
in order to build the kernel modules correctly and then build the 
driver? In the end I am not trying to compile a custom kernel I simply 
want to use the kernel I have and be able to build drivers against it as 
needed.

Thanks in advance.

I included core dumps and other info in the long version below.

LONG VERSION:
Built driver rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010
make
make install
All finished ok.

modprobe generates this error.

[root@etop rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010]# modprobe r8192se_pci

dmesg output

vim Makefile and changed  /usr/src/kernel/2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686/Makefile
  EXTRAVERSION = .7-61.fc13.i686

Finally modprobe and coresponding core dump from dmesg
modprobe r8192se_pci
