Experience with the new Kernels
Hi all, I have a laptop where I use the kernel 2.4.7. I have a Suse 7.1. I wanted to upgrade to something newer, so I went to the ftp suse site and downloaded the rpms of mantel's 2.4.16 kernel and 2.4.10 from 7.3. At first I tried the 2.4.16 but it failed to set up properly the PCMCIA, I think. My network card was not working even if the lights were on. I do not know if someone else has already posted this problem, but I would like to know if there is a solution. I have also tried 2.4.10, but it returns me lots of errors when trying to install the module of the NIC. Here it is the output: /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o: init_module: Dispositivo inesistente /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/pcmcia-external/i82365.o: unresolved symbol pci_irq_mask /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/pcmcia-external/i82365.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/pcmcia-external/i82365.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/pcmcia-external/i82365.o: insmod i82365 failed Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters I do not understand how to solve this problem. If you know, let me know! Praise
AFAIK, PCMCIA is not in the Mantel kernels. You need to install the
source package and rebuild it. In fact, many of the kernel updates do
not have PCMCIA included. I upgraded a 7.1 system to the 2.2.19
kernel. The PCMCIA modules complain about version mismatch at boot
time, but they work, so I didn't rebuild.
