[opensuse] missing ksyms form my kernel
Hi, I downloaded and compiled a 2.6.16 vanilla kernel from kernel.org for my suse 10.1 box. Now I am trying to compile and install some drivers/modules for this kernel. Everything goes well and the drivers/modules get generated and produce some RPMS for me to install. The problem I run into is that when I try to install the RPM packages I get a missing rpm dependency. error: Failed dependencies: ksym(schedule) = 1000e51 is needed by There is a suse kernel-syms rpm which will probably solve this if I where using the suse kernel. But I am using a vanilla kernel from kernel.org. Any clues on how to generate a kernel and kernel-syms rpm on my suse box from a vanilla source kernel?

Hi, Just a follow up on this. Now I installed the suse kernel-source-2.6.16.21-0.13 rpm. Then I tried to compile the kernel from source and generate an rpm with the "make rpm-pkg" options to make. I manage to build the rpms for the kernel but I get this message towards the end of the build: + cp .config /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-root/boot/config-2.6.16.21-0.13-cc s + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress Processing files: kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1 Finding Provides: /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides kernel /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires.ksyms: line 12: /usr/bin/nm: Argument list too long Finding Requires: /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires kernel Finding Supplements: /usr/lib/rpm/find-supplements kernel error: line 48: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': error: Failed to find Supplements: When I try to install the rpms that the build process generated i get the : ksym(struct_module) = b9ec7d43 is needed by kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1.x86_64 ksym(find_or_create_page) = ba0f64de is needed by kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1.x86_64 ksym(ec_read) = ba2d8594 is needed by kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1.x86_64 ksym(__downgrade_write) = ba3bda2a is is this a bug? nm and rpm seem to have problems with building rpm kernels. Thanks for any help on this.

I'm just running into exactly the same problem. Were you able to solve it in the meantime? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

Here's a strange thing: When I compile the kernel on a SuSE 9.0 i586 host (running SuSE 9.2 kerrnel 2.6.8), it works. When I do the same on a 10.1 x86_64 host, that is running the 32bit/i586 version of 10.1, I get the error. I wonder if any of the kernel developers has an idea about this? Maybe it's really just the nm tool in 10.1 that can't handle such a long argument line? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

Hi, I think you are on the right track. Its either the nm tool or something with rpm maybe adding something to these variables '%insserv_prereq' '%fillup_prereq' when you make the kernel rpm? Not sure I still have not found a solution to generating a kernel rpm on suse 10.1. It would be great if some of the suse kernel gurus could post something on this maybe a fix? For the most part we run the suse kernels and prefer it that way but there are occasions when one needs to be able to compile and run a vanilla kernel from kernel.org to support some application or hardware that just won't compile on a suse kernel. Any clues on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rene Frank Steiner wrote:

I asked the SLES support about that issue (we have a paid support contract), and they told me the problem is caused by a new naming convention by Novell: all kernel rpms must be named "kernel-...". Our kernel rpm uses "kernelbio-..." and that doesn't fit the convention. So either make sure your own rpm uses "kernel-..." as %NAME or fix the problem in the three scripts /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides.ksyms /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires.ksyms /usr/lib/rpm/find-supplements.ksyms In each of them you find: case "$1" in ... kernel-*) is_kernel_package=1 ;; Replacing "kernel-*" by "kernel*" solved the problem for use (for "kernelbio"). You just need to fix this to match whatever you use as name for your kernel rpm... cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
