Compiling a module outside kernel
by Robert M. Albrecht 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hi Sam, I have a problem in compiling a kernel module (outside the kernel) in F9 (rawhide). Perhaps someone could enlighten me. [root@localhost toshiba_acpi]# ll insgesamt 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 145 29. Apr 17:49 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19774 28. Apr 21:46 toshiba_acpi.c [root@localhost toshiba_acpi]# make make: F?r das Ziel ?default? ist nichts zu tun. [root@localhost toshiba_acpi]# cat Makefile obj-m := toshiba_acpi.o KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd) default: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules [root@localhost toshiba_acpi]# Nothing happens. Has the Makefile to be changed for F9 or do I make a stupid mistake ? cu romal

problem in the pre-build stage
by Oliveiros Cristina 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

hello list, I have the following problem. I needed to add some patches to the 2.6.24.4-64-fc8 kernel. Being more specific , the patch allows an upgrade to the version 1.7.5 of TIPC I added a patch to the kernel.spec. Even before building the kernel, when it is creating the .configs, I guess, it reports an error. I used the command : rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec It reports the following error : ++ grep -c kernel-2.6.24.4-x86_64.config + '[' 0 -eq 0 ']' + rm -f kernel-2.6.24.4-x86_64.config + for i in '*.config' + mv kernel-2.6.24.4-i586.config .config ++ head -1 .config ++ cut -b 3- + Arch=i386 + make ARCH=i386 nonint_oldconfig .config:3365:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol DEBUG_IGNORE_QUIET .config:3390:warning: trying to reassign symbol USB_DEBUG CONFIG_TIPC_UNICLUSTER_FRIENDLY CONFIG_TIPC_MULTIPLE_LINKS CONFIG_TIPC_CONFIG_SERVICE CONFIG_TIPC_SOCKET_API CONFIG_TIPC_SYSTEM_MSGS make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 5 make: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2 erro: Código de saída inválido do /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73865 (%prep) Erros de criação do RPM: Código de saída inválido do /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73865 (%prep) Due to my lack of experience with rpmbuild tool I fail to correctly interpret this. The text in portuguese just reads "codigo de saída inválido do"= "invalid exit code from" "Erros de criação do RPM"="Errors in creating RPM" It seems to be having trouble on a target named nonint_oldconfig. This is funny and unexpected, because I've already tried this same patch on a vanilla kernel (building it in the tradictional way) and it worked at first time. I deeply appreciate if anyone who can suggest something to fix this.... Best, Oliveiros -- "An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God." - Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar

Procedure to make a patch
by Oliveiros Cristina 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Dear List, I would like to ask you what is the procedure I should follow to prepare a patch suitable to be added to the fedora build process. What are the options I should give to diff command, exactly? I've tried to do two copies of the kernel tree (kernel.orig and kernel.new), change the new one and then generate a patch using diff -uNrp The procedure I've used is essentially what is described here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel But, when the build process reaches my patch it stops and asks me "File to patch:" Can anyone gimme a pointer where I can find the complete info on this procedure, or help me figure out where I went sideways on this..? Thanks in advance for your kind help Best, Oliveiros -- "An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God." - Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar

RAID 5 ISSUE
by admin＠fi.uba.ar 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hi, We're trying to install a fedora 8 (x86_64) on a AMD X2 4200, mother Gigabit GA-M57SLI-S4. We make a raid 5(with chipset nforce 570) with 3 western digital (80gb)SATA2. The problem is that anaconda does not detect the raid, and show 3 hard disks instead of the raid array. So far we guess this problem has something to do with the dmraid45.ko module, but we try (with no success) to load the module during the installation. At this point we don't know where to look, so any suggestion will help. Thanks a lot! Network Administration, FIUBA

Re: Please tag kernel-xen-2.6-2.6.25-0.22.rc9.fc9

Are we going to be able to get to a point where this > is built as a 'normal' subpackage of the kernel? Yes. That's very, very much the goal. To that end, the kernel-xen RPM is as close as possible to kernel/devel e.g. see: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=kernel-xen-rpm.git;a=shortlog But right now, the x86_64 patch set is still probably a bit too large to carry in kernel/devel. If we get that cleaned up more, though, then I think we could merge it back early on in F-10. And, obviously, we're very focused on pushing stuff upstream too. The trade-off is between the pain of having a separate kernel-xen RPM and the pain of having to continually re-base a huge patch. Cheers, Mark.

[PATCH] NFS Client mounts hang when exported directory do not exist
by Steve Dickson 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by the string based mounts. nfs_mount() statically returns -EACCES for every error returned by the remote mounted. This is incorrect because -EACCES is an non-fatal error to the mount.nfs command. This error causes mount.nfs to retry the mount even in the case when the exported directory does not exist. This patch maps the errors returned by the remote mountd into valid errno values, exactly how it was done pre-string based mounts. By returning the correct errno enables mount.nfs to do the right thing.
