MOL
Hi, it's been a while since I have posted to this list, and for that I apologize. Am I still welcome to post here since I have changed to ubuntu? At first I would think no, but then again it is based on SID, so I am not sure. Well if not tell me, and I will duck out, but if so I have a question as always. I just compiled a 2.6.12-rc4 kernel, and am planning to use it as a main kernel, not just to test it, and to use MOL you have to compile the kernel module, and it says to use the current kernel headers, so my question is this, must I recompile them, since they were compiled off the 2.6.10-5-powerpc ubuntu kernel, and if so where do I put, and which files are, the kernel headers for this kernel that I have just compiled. Ofcourse I still have the full source of the kernel I compiled awaiting a response from this list. As always any help is appreciated. --Mike S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well if not tell me, and I will duck out, but if so I have a question as always. LOL. I'm an Ubuntu-using lurker - I find this list a good source of info for general linux ppc problems, esp with hardware. This question would probably be better directed to the ubuntu-users list. But first things first, have you read the MOL how to? http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/MacOnLinuxHowto And what version of Ubuntu (Hoary/Warty/Breezy) are you using? Also, what version of Mac OS X - I beleive that MOL doesn't work with Tiger yet. John www.ubuntulinux.org linux for humans I'm using Hoary. I haven't yet ventured into using mol with OS X yet, just 9 for now. I have read that mol doesn't work on Tiger, but I don't have Tiger, stuck with Jaguar. (main reason for swithing to linux, Jaguar just didn't cut it for compiling a lot of Open Source stuff) And besides I like gnome a hell of a lot better than the Mac OS X "look" I guess you would call it, and I also like the ability to compile what I want, and not be stuck with the "Mac" Compiler for one. gcc 3.4.3 was a nightmare. I will probably lurk on the list for the fact that I like the people on it. I have had nothing but positive results from people here, and have not run into anyone putting me down for questions that I look back and they were so "newbie" or obvious answers, and that is just not something I have found a lot of other places. I thought the question I asked was a general linux question, in that all it was was where do I put the header files, and what are the header files fom the upstream kernel I just compiled. To answer the question to what version of MOL I have "startmol --version" reports Mac-on-Linux 0.9.70 I did real the MacOnLinux wiki that you asked me about above. --Mike S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I would say that you should probably ask questions of your own distro first, just in case they have done something different. If no one from ubuntu knows, and they confirm that it's not an ubuntu-specific thing, that's a good time to take it to a larger, but similar distro, or the to mailing lists of the actual software itself. This is pretty much what debian folk do with bugs anyway: we have our own bug reporting system, which "wraps" the bug reporting systems of the actual software, just in case debian has caused the problem itself. I just compiled a 2.6.12-rc4 kernel, and am planning to use it as a main kernel, not just to test it, and to use MOL you have to compile the kernel module, and it says to use the current kernel headers, so my question is this, must I recompile them, since they were compiled off the 2.6.10-5-powerpc ubuntu kernel, and if so where do I put, and which files are, the kernel headers for this kernel that I have just compiled. Ofcourse I still have the full source of the kernel I compiled awaiting a response from this list. Debian has a module-helper (or module-installer, or something like that) package to help with this, and other, lower-level utilities that make sure modules get installed to the right place. I'm not sure if ubuntu has those. I'm not sure the question I asked is a "bug", The instructions for using MOL on ubuntu consisted of downloading the MOL packages, for the main stuff, and then downloading the source for the kernel module. Then to compile the kernel module you had to download the header files for the kernel you were running. (2.6.10-5-powerpc) in my case. And then it said that if you everr changed kernels you needed to recompile the kernel module with the header files from the kernel you are using, and my only question was what are these "header files" since ubuntu would surely not have a "header-file" package for a self compiled kernel. --Mike S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
