Hi Folks,

Here's the solution we have found:

With the latest SuSE 2.6.5-7.75 kernel sources:

The problem is that /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.75/build points to /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75-obj which is some kind of wierd directory that has:

. .. bigsmp debug default out smp

So simply removing this symlink and putting back a link to /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75 fixes our problems.

So the question is who is at fault here?. We used KBUILD to
build our modules and obviously the build link in /lib/modules/<kernel>/build isn't pointing to the correct source tree.

best regards
Dev Mazumdar

I don't know if this is the solution to your problem, but /usr/src/linux/README.SUSE says

(3) Compile the module(s) by changing into the module source directory and typing ``make -C /usr/src/linux O=/usr/src/linux-obj/$ARCH/$FLAVOR M=pwd modules''. Substitute $ARCH and $FLAVOR with the architecture and flavor for which to build the module(s).

I hope this helps,

Duncan.

IF the fault here is SUSE's, then submit THEM a bug report and stop whining in lkml. If you did your homework in the first place you would see that that's not a Linux Kernel problem and would not start this whole discussion.

All you've managed with this was ening with any reputation 4Front Technologies could have between lkml readers.
