[parisc-linux] 2.4.6-pa20 question about modules

[Joël Soete]

Hi Thomas,

With your tips
(http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2001-July/013081.html)

the cvs 20010717 seems to works fine.
(for b180 still have to unplug re-plug kdb)

I also try to recompile it with the .config file supply with palinux-0.9.2.
It also seems to works well but modules are not install naturally.
Can you explain me how to compile it and install it?

Thanks in advance for help,
     Joel

PS: How is it possible to cvs co a previous kernel release now (f.e.
2.4.0-pa30)?

Nice to know that. But, I think I will deliver a big patch for the
keyboard story. Then, I will need some testers. Thanks to be one of them
:)

First, you must know that some of the drivers are not modularized yet. I
think that it looks like pc modules. But since I am not a guru in this
stuff, I think someone else will tell you

I would like to know. I think, if you read at Paul Bame litterature, he
said that it is broken for 2.4.0.
I can grab old versions with cvs co -r 1.83 linux, for example.
To know the release you want, use this:

Thanks again for reporting, Thomas.

all the cleanup stuff for the mouse.

If I understand correctly, you are rebuilding the kernel, and want
kernel modules installed correctly under /lib/modules?


cd /usr/src/linux   (or wherever your source tree is)
# save your .config file, if you want it
make distclean
cp <config file> .config
make oldconfig
make dep
make
make modules
make modules_install
cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux   (or whereever you want it to go)

Thomas,

Thanks a lot for information.

I am so waiting your patch for kbd (the cvs question was in fact to try to
understand changes that make ps2 kbd un-operational and by the way why
unplug re-plug of b180 kbd was requested).

Always happy to try to help free and open software community.

Joel
