What is missing is "/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/build". Do you have the kernel source for 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop installed? "build" is usually a symlink to the source.
The kernel source is installed, as is kernel-desktop, but I see nothing in the list from Software Management about kernel source for desktop. Also in my desktop box, Software Manage doesn't show anything with kernel, desktop, and source all in the same line..
Hi Stan
can you post the output of ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/

I see the mismatch of the source. But I don't know how it got that way, since the only place any of OS has come from is the DVD. If there is a mismatch, it is in the DVD.
The mismatch is more that you're trying to build the module for '2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop', when you should be building for '2.6.27.39-0.2'. I wonder if that is somehow a left-over from the previous build (of the driver). Is there a makefile or config file where you can change the target kernel-version?
There are two (2) makefiles, and one has an autorun file (one of the two makefiles stands alone, while the other is in a directory with the autorun.. The driver is claimed to be for 2.6.xx and 2.4.xx, and as far as I can inspect the scripts, there is no mention of number past the 4 or 6. The driver I have, by the way, is a quite new one, only months old. It has been suggested that I abandon this driver, and simply use the r8169 driver that is already in the kernel. The reason I have not done that is that the instructions that come with the r8168 are very explicit about removing the r8169 driver before anything else; that is also in the scripts, of course. I don't know why they do this, but if I can be assured that the r8169 would do the job, nothing would please me more than just to use it. I hope someone will comment. The d/l of a new v11.2 iso crashed an hour short of completion, so a new one is going on now. I have had a deuce of a time with the installer, by the way, that has screwed up my existing partitions. This never happened with previous openSuSE installations. "Screwed up" means that it has moved the boundary of the extended partition (this is not my imagination; DFSee complains about it), and it insists upon deleting existing partitions; I have found no way while editing the proposed partitioning to keep it from doing this. In this way, it has trashed two other oS installations (that worked!) that I wanted to use for evaluationg desktop programs. I am sore tempted to just stay with v11.1/KDE3. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
