I just online updated my SLSE8 for AMD64 to 2.4.21-178-smp, however, in directory /usr/src, there is linux-2.4.21-183 and linux-2.4.21-183-include, but no linux-2.4.21-178. It is confusing. is there anything wrong? I am trying to re-install gm-2.0.8_Linux (from Myrinet) after the updating the kernel, but some include files are missing. Any suggestion?

Have you downloaded the kernel-source.x86_64.rpm? This is needed, Andreas

This FAQ article covers the issue. I have shortened the steps to: cd /usr/src/linux ( where SP3 links the new kernel) make cloneconfig make dep which helped me compile gm-2.0.8 on sles8. http://www.myri.com/fom-serve/cache/272.html Jyh-Shyong Ho wrote:

Hi. I am working on 3 different x86-64 node types: Newsiys 2-way and Celestica 2-way and 4-way. On the latter (Quartets), I have been advised by AMD to look to build and use NUMA enabled kernels - otherwise I get non-scalable STREAMS performance. My kernel module is failing with unresolved symbols: memnode_shift, memnodemap, plat_node_data However '/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-171.4.2qsnet_NUMA \ /arch/x86_64/kernel/x8664_ksyms.c' does contain: #ifdef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM EXPORT_SYMBOL(memnode_shift); EXPORT_SYMBOL(memnodemap); EXPORT_SYMBOL(plat_node_data); EXPORT_SYMBOL(fake_node); #endif and I am building with: CONFIG_K8_NUMA=y CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y CONFIG_NUMA=y Any ideas shat I am doing wrong ? -- Yours, Daniel. -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Dan Kidger, Quadrics Ltd. daniel.kidger@quadrics.com One Bridewell St., Bristol, BS1 2AA, UK 0117 915 5505 ----------------------- www.quadrics.com --------------------

It doesn't make any difference. Even the "SMP" kernel is a NUMA kernel these days. It was only different in the old days (SLES8 before SP2) There is still a k_numa kernel, but it only exists for easier updates and is identical to the k_smp kernel.
Any ideas shat I am doing wrong ?
Most likely you didn't build against the correct source tree and the modversions check is failing. See the README in the source tree on how to correctly build third party modules. -Andi
