I am running opensuse 10.2 32bit. I need to compile the kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS enabled because of certain USB issues and vmware running a Windows guest. My current kernel is 2.16.18.8-0.1-default. My goal was to to compile a kernel with the CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS enabled and call it 2.6.18.8-0.1-usb. I did the following steps, with source and compiler loaded. cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make menuconfig and add the required usb support make make modules_install make install mkinitrd. After doing these steps all appears to be in order. Boot contains config, System.map, initrd, and vmliz files for 2.6.18.8-0.1-usb (as well as for 2.6.18.8-0.1-default) Grub has entries for both the -default and -usb kernels. The -default entry boots and runs fine. The -usb entry starts the boot, gets through various things and then gives the error message Fatal error Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-usb/modules.dep: No such files or directory The file, however, does exist. /ib/modules/2.16.8-0.1-usb/modules.dep exists and is essentially identical to /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-default. the only difference is that 2.6.18.8-0.1-default contains a reference to two vmware modules not yet contained in 2.6.18.8-0.1-usb. I do notice that the /boot directory contains the following files symsets-2.6.18.8-0.1-default.tar.gz symtypes-2.6.18.8-0.1-default.gz symvers-2.6.18.8-0.1-default.gz for which there is no equivalent 2.6.18.8-01.1-usb Any pointers would be appreciated Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
