General :: Error During Kernel Module Compiling

Mar 13, 2011

I update my last kernl to 2.6.38-rc7 but when I launch VirtualBox, on stdout.The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.38-rc7) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup.

Debian :: Compiling XIllybus Kernel Module

Sep 25, 2015

I'm having problems to compile XIllybus kernel module. As this guide explains, [URL] ..... (on the top of page 8 of 25) I unpackaged the tar.gz file and compiled the kernel module by typing the make command in the proper path. When I compile the module with make command, I get the following error:

make -C /lib/modules/3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/build SUBDIRS=/home/xillybus/module modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

/lib/modules/3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/build path does not exist. What does it mean? Should I have to install some kernel packet? www does not work for me.

Ubuntu :: DKMS Not Compiling New Module Using New Kernel?

Mar 19, 2011

I'm trying to set it up so that I don't have to recompile the driver for my RAID card manually every time there is a kernel upgrade.I found a thread on it, here and a help page here, and it looks like it builds the module fine, but for some reason it's not being inserted into the new kernel, or something. It's like the new kernel doesn't know it exists, even tho modprobe -l shows the newly built module exists (and is in the correct place)Here's the script that I wrote up to get the drivers set up in DKMS:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -e

Programming :: Compiling Kernel Module Using (/asm/system.h)

Apr 3, 2011

I`m trying to compile sources of kernel module which has been written for kernel 2.6.9. There were many changes in kernel headers since then in current kernel sources. I`ve found that old /asm/system.h was moved under architecture dedicated directory /arch/*/include/asm/system.h. Anyway during sources compilation I`m having errors related to kernel sources. It looks like there is something wrong with this /asm/system.h

Code:

../asm/system.h: In function �__cmpxchg�:
../asm/system.h:248: error: expected string literal before �LOCK_PREFIX�
../asm/system.h:254: error: expected string literal before �LOCK_PREFIX�

Debian Programming :: Compiling Linux Kernel Module

Aug 27, 2014

I'm trying to compile a Linux kernel module called hello-2.c using the command "make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=${PWD} modules" (without the quotes) (which I found online), and the following is the (seemingly successful) output.:

Code: Select allmake: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 0 modules
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64'

However, I don't see a hello-2.ko (in the same folder or anywhere else for that matter). I'm Using Debian GNU/Linux 7.6.

Everything I am doing is within a folder/directory called "thefolder" (without the quotes) in the "/tmp" directory (without the quotes).

Why I can't see a hello-2.ko, and what to do to get it?

Ubuntu :: Compiling Individual Kernel Module From Qcserial.c?

Jan 4, 2011

I am trying to figure out how to compile qcserial.c kernel module from the latest kernel source file located in the 2.6.37-rc8 kernel tree. I have installed the sources for my current kernel 2.6.35-24-generic on maverick and it seems that my includes are not in the right place to make the qcserial.c file happy.

I overcame this issue by passing the -I option to gcc that points to the directories that it is looking for. I am currently getting errors while compiling and I was wondering if it is impossible to compile qcserial.c on my current kernel? I am looking to get the diagnostic port and GPS port enabled for my built-in 3G card.

I havent built modules for quite some time and that was on opensuse with the fglrx module.

General :: Compiling Kernel 2.6.32.2 Error

Jan 4, 2010

I'm currently using Fedora 12 with kernel 2.6.31.9 and I was trying to upgrade to 2.6.32.2. These are the steps I followed. After rebooting and choosing this kernel from the Grub menu, I'm just greeted with a black screen with a blinking cursor and it won't proceed beyond that.

These are the commands I issued. I received an error on the first make modules about the mismatch. I then ran CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and once finished I ran make modules again and it completed successfully.

Code:
Downloaded kernel package 2.6.32.2 from www.kernel.org

Fedora :: Getting Error While Cross Compiling Kernel On 14 Host

If i set up the toolchain on a fedora 13 machine with the exact same procedure, the cross compilation works fine. I can't figure out how this can be fixed. I am currently considering downgrading to fedora 13 due to this.

SUSE :: Error In Compiling Kernel After Fresh Installation

Oct 21, 2010

I am trying to perform a patch on the current kernel version that was included in SLES SP1 and do a compile of the kernel. However, after installing the new kernel and rebooting, I got a "Waiting for device" error. I tried just compiling the kernel after a fresh installation of SLES SP1 on a physical and virtual machine and got the same problem. When I was doing make rpm, I got errors something like (can't remember but it was something like not in gzip format, file format not recognized and exec format error). Also, what I noticed when performing mkinitrd was that there were errors like the following:

ERROR: modinfo :could not open /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.32.120.7paemod-root/lib/modules/2.6.32.12-0.7-pae-mod/kernel/drivers/char/agp/ali-agp.ko: No such file or directory

The files include others such as amd-k7-agp.ko, ati-agp.ko, efficeon-agp.ko and others. There are also 2 files in the usb direcotry that has this problem. This happened even after a fresh installation. What I did was the following:

cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make menuconfig
make rpm
mkinitrd

Ubuntu :: ERROR: Unable To Load The Kernel Module Nvidia.ko

May 16, 2010

for the last few releases, starting with 9.04 i've been having serious crashing problems with the nvidia driver. whether i installed it manually using the latest drivers directly from nvidia, or installing them through the restricted driver option. after a few hours CRASH. it's been awful. and i tried everything from this side to the moon to fix this issue, all to no avail. no idea why i've even stayed with ubuntu after all these issues. came from the debian world back in 5.04, and almost moved back a few times. but i did a clean install of 10.04, and thought i'd give the nvidia driver one last chance... if it didn't work i'd be moving back home to debian (with the suspicion the issue would stay).

so after i tried the restricted driver and CRASH. nothing to fix it. then i thought ok i'll try to use the latest driver from nvidia. but ran into this error when installing it:

Quote: ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module nvidia.ko. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is not supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release. so after googling around i found a fix to this error i was getting during the install:

Quote: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv

Ubuntu / Apple :: Error - Failed To Initialize The NVIDIA Kernel Module

May 1, 2010

I keep getting a warning messaged almost every time I reboot about Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode on a Macbook 5,1. This has been happening since Lucid Beta 1.

Quote:

Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the
system's kernel log for additional error messages and
consult the NVIDIA README for details.

[code]....

After I finish loading in low graphics mode I have to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig". Then, the next reboot the graphics card driver is loaded properly. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have an idea how to correct it? I know it is a long shot, but do you think doing a fresh install of the stable release would work?

General :: How Much Size Should Give When Compiling And Installing A Kernel

Apr 13, 2010

I have downloaded the newest most stable Linux kernel, 2.6.33.2.

I thought I would test this using VirtualBox. So I create a dynamically sized harddisk of 4 GB. And installed CentOS 5.3 with just the minimum packages.

I setup the make menuconfig with just the default settings.

After that I ran make and got the following error:

The amount of space I have left is:

My virtual size is 4 GB, but the actual size is 3.5 GB.

How much size should I give when compiling and installing a Linux kernel? Are there any guidelines to follow when doing this? This is my first time, so just experimenting with this.
