Install problems
Quoted 18 lines · Alex Iribarren
Hi,
I'm trying to install KVM on one of my machines and I'm having some problems. I'm on a RHEL4.4 based distro with a 2.6.9-42.0.3 unpatched kernel. I've followed the HOWTO instructions, but when I run make the KVM module isn't built.
[root@pcitfiot05 kvm-2]# make
make -C kernel
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/kvm/kvm-2/kernel'
make -C/lib/modules/uname -r/build M=pwd"$@"
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
make[2]: Leaving directory/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9' make[1]: Leaving directory/root/kvm/kvm-2/kernel'

kvm.ko is nowhere to be found. What am I missing?
Linux 2.6.9 is so ancient that the external module build methods have changed. You will need to consult your Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt and modify the Makefile and Kbuild files appropriately. You will also need to adapt the module code as 2.6.9 has no 'struct mutex'.
If you can't make heads or tails of it let me know, and I may have a go. RHEL4 will probably be a popular platform.
