kernel modules for 2.6.22.14-72.fc6

Hello Axel.

Any plans for kernel modules for this one ? Just the regular ones :

alsa-kmdl-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686
lirc-kmdl-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686
nvidia-graphics100.14.19-kmdl-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686
video4linux-kmdl-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686
wis-go7007-linux-kmdl-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686

Best Regards
Milorad

But you can pick the src.rpm and rpmbuild --rebuild --define
"kmdl_userland 0" ...

You need to have atrpms-rpm-config and the matching kernel-header
installed (sometimes the whole kernel source, but try with
kernel-header first).

Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction for instructions on building the
modules myself?
Thank you

Pierre

Actually the message you replied already contained them in a condensed
form, but you're probably after the long version:

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/LCG_kernel_modules.html

Thanks to Paulo for maintaining this howto.

But still note that FC6 is out of maintenance from Red Hat
itself. Which means that if a kernel vulnerability comes up in say two
weeks you will even need to build your own kernel rpms (or live with
the security problem).

So perhaps the time invested to build kmdls would be better spent
upgrading the system from FC6 to F8? I did that on several systems and
nothing bad came up. Cou can also sidegrade to RHEL5/CentOS5 which is
FC6-based if you want to avoid fully upgrading every year
(RHEL5/CentOS5 will be supported for 7 years).

Ouch, seems a bit early. I saw an announcement on the
Fedora-announce-list when FC5 officially went EOL, and just before it
did, they released a final kernel. IIRC (and I don't always these days)
they officially retired FC5 a couple of days *after* they said they
would. I don't remember seeing a similar email about FC6 (did I miss
it?) In any event, my needs are slightly different. The cubbi_suspend2
version of this kernel just got released today and that's what I run on
my laptop (until I get around to upgrading to F8), so I was kinda hoping
that there would be ipw3945-1.2.2/mac80211/ieee80211 kmdls for the
suspend2 kernel built by atrpms. B^(

I am able to build the fglrx-kmod stuff from livna, but I was never able
to get your build environment to work for me. [.Its probably my fault,
but I can't find the proper documentation that makes it just work for me.]

(hmm, I don't seem to have atrpms-rpm-config installed....)
I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back.

It was perhaps shadowed by F8 announcements but EOL was
Fri. Dec. 7th. And just on this day the last kernel was announced.

Paulo did a lot of work here:

Well, you need at the very least atrpms-rpm-config and
kernel-header. For some kmdls you need a full kernel source tree which
is outlined in Paulo's docs. But try first with kernel-headers.

Thanks I'll check it out!

Already done by now. I just gotta figure out how to build the modules
for a kernel that's installed but not yet running. I'll RTFM and give
it a try.

Read /etc/rpm/macros.kmdl, you need to use

--define '_kernel 2.6.foo-bar'

and *maybe* also

--define 'kmdl_kernelsrcdir /where/I/put/my/sources'

(you don't need it if /lib/modules/_kernel/build already points to the
right place.)

OK, I was able to build ieee80211 and mac80211 via the following command
lines:

> rpmbuild ieee80211-1.2.18-20.src.rpm --rebuild --target i686 --define "kmdl_userland 0" --define "_kernel 2.6.22.14-72_1.cubbi_suspend2.fc6"
> rpmbuild mac80211-9.0.4-15.src.rpm --rebuild --target i686 --define "kmdl_userland 0" --define "_kernel 2.6.22.14-72_1.cubbi_suspend2.fc6"

using rpm to install the resulting kmdls went OK, except that
mac80211-kmdl complained about:

> WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.22.14-72_1.cubbi_suspend2.fc6/updates/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko needs unknown symbol ieee80211_led_rx
> WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.22.14-72_1.cubbi_suspend2.fc6/updates/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko needs unknown symbol ieee80211_led_exit

However, I can't:

> rpmbuild ipw3945-1.2.2-21.src.rpm --rebuild --target i686 --define "kmdl_userland 0" --define "_kernel 2.6.22.14-72_1.cubbi_suspend2.fc6"

here are the important lines from the build output:

> + make KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.22.14-72_1.cubbi_suspend2.fc6/build IEEE80211_INC=/usr/include/ieee80211 'CC=gcc -I/usr/include/ieee80211'

So, I gather that there's something else I need to add to the command
line? Or do I need to modify the .spec file?
