Hi list, I use the hsf drivers from linuxant to run my stupid winmodem. It works fine typically, but I have to rebuild the modules with every kernel upgrade. it actually does it automatically on the first boot of a new kernel and is mostly a seamless operation.
okay, so the recent upgrade to Linux basement 2.6.18-1-k7 #1 SMP Sat Oct 21 18:09:11 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux has given me problems. here are the results of trying to build the modules with judicious snipping: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hsfconfig Password: Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.47.00.01full ... No pre-built modules for: Debian-4.0 linux-2.6.18-1-k7 i686-SMP Trying to automatically build the driver modules... (this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed) Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.18-1-k7/build] WARNING: the kernel version () defined in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1-k7/build/include/linux/version.h does not match the currently running kernel (2.6.18-1-k7) The cause of this problem is an incorrect kernel source path. Please check that /lib/modules/2.6.18-1-k7/build points to the right tree. The cause of this is usually a missing or unconfigured kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link). ... okay, so a quick look at version.h [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.18-1-k7/build/include/linux/version.h #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132626 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) huh? I don't know how to parse this and a very shallow google didn't tell me enough. I've purged the linux-headers and linux-source packages and reinstalled (linux-headers-2.6.18-1-k7) but no luck. My concern here is that hsfconfig program is right and I have somehow bolloxed up my versioning, or perhaps there's a bug and this particular program catches it when others might not. how do I parse that version.h and how does it relate to the output of uname?
