Kernel source fails to compile modules
Last modified: 2013-03-06 00:59:49 EST
Description of problem: Latest kernel source fails to make, therefore cannot generate anti virus modules for it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-55.0.2 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.up2date get-source kernel 2.cd /usr/src/<wherever> 3.make mrproper, make modules or whatever you choose Actual results: errors about various components Expected results: compiled modules Additional info: compile worked fine for -5, and -55 but not -55.0.2
hmmm, this seems to work fine for me on 55.0.2 are you sure you did 'make oldconfig'? What is the exact error you are getting?
Hi, after a few more machines tested it may be more of an inconsistency between installs and updates. The procedure for compile seems totally different after an update to before, but all I had to go on at the time was a lot of machines with different kernels installed. It turns out none of them had been updated, just installed at different kernel stages over many months. Running the updates seemed to break the instructions that came with the AV, but digging deeper into google found a longer winded method that worked eventually.
ok, i'm closing this as not a bug. if you have any specific errors, including with documentation, please feel free to re-open the bug.
