I have just used make-kpkg to build the pristine source of 2.6.9 into a debian kernel.
I copied the .config file from kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7 (its installed in /boot/config-2.6.9-1-k7) and then issued the following command MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-2.95" make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision 1 \ --append-to-version akc kernel_image I install the resultant .deb When this kernel is booted I get a load of messages on the console about modules that can't be freed because the device or resource is busy, and when I do an lsmod I get the following [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lsmod Module Size Used by ... lots of normal modules then ... ide_generic 1600 0 [permanent] siimage 12352 0 [permanent] aec62xx 10264 0 [permanent] trm290 4608 0 [permanent] alim15x3 10380 0 [permanent] hpt34x 5632 0 [permanent] hpt366 20452 0 [permanent] ide_disk 18880 9 hpt366 cmd64x 11800 0 [permanent] piix 12572 0 [permanent] rz1000 2816 0 [permanent] slc90e66 7812 0 [permanent] generic 4160 0 [permanent] cs5530 6084 0 [permanent] cs5520 6212 0 [permanent] sc1200 8452 0 [permanent] triflex 4032 0 [permanent] atiixp 8536 0 [permanent] pdc202xx_old 15832 0 [permanent] pdc202xx_new 10392 0 [permanent] opti621 4484 0 [permanent] ns87415 4288 0 [permanent] cy82c693 4608 0 [permanent] amd74xx 12892 0 [permanent] sis5513 14472 0 [permanent] via82cxxx 12312 0 [permanent] serverworks 11024 0 [permanent] ide_core 136120 28 ide_cd,ide_generic,siimage,aec62xx,trm290,alim15x3,hpt34x,hpt366,ide_disk,cmd64x,piix,rz1000,slc90e66,generic,cs5530,cs5520,sc1200,triflex,atiixp,pdc202xx_old,pdc202xx_new,opti621,ns87415,cy82c693,amd74xx,sis5513,via82cxxx,serverworks unix 27916 284 How are these modules getting stuck - what do I do to get rid of them? -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
