Subject: building a specific driver in kernel src tree
Date: Mon, 9 May 2011 12:53:47 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTinjzgf==zKCt=bxyk7iKf_Dt5ciTA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <BANLkTim=tbUjLVWaVvnfXxXzJOAXD2epbg@mail.gmail.com>
Actually am using Centos-5.5 (kernel-2.6.18-194.el5) and trying to overwrite
the e1000 drives with those in kernel-2.6.22.
After resolving few symbols at compile time, when trying to load the kernel
with this change, the e1000 probe method is failing with the error
e1000: 0000:01:00.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
e1000: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5
e1000: 0000:01:00.1: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
e1000: probe of 0000:01:00.1 failed with error -5
Am trying to debug that.
Any help/pointers on why this occurs and how to resolve it?
