I have a message that says the built modules not found. When I check e.g /lib/modules/2.7.37-rc3-git7-smp, most modules are zero bytes long. I have to "make modules_install" and use modprobe on each. To get the network up on the 11.3 box "modprobe r6189" then "rcnetwork restart", "modprobe rtl8187", "/etc/init.d/network-remotefs start", etc., etc. Then ifconfig is OK for those devices. eth_s1_0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:F0:BB:14:E1 inet addr:192.168.10.10 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21c:f0ff:febb:14e1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1927 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1923 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:287532 (280.7 Kb) TX bytes:283044 (276.4 Kb) Interrupt:17 Base address:0xe000 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:AF:23:04:37 inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::215:afff:fe23:437/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:62 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4324 (4.2 Kb) TX bytes:18470 (18.0 Kb) On 11.3 module-init-tools-3.12-1.3.x86_64 On 11.4 Milestone 4 module-init-tools-3.12-5.3.x86_64 tindog:/usr/src/linux-2.6.37-rc3-git7 # grep MODULE .config CONFIG_MODULES=y # CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD is not set CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL=y Another guy has emailed me saying he's seen the same. 11.3 ==== gcc version 4.5.0 20100604 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 160292] (SUSE Linux) 11.4 Milestone 4 ================ gcc version 4.5.1 20101116 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 166793] (SUSE Linux) Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
