Linux Kernel compile

[Nothinman]

Another thing I thought to ask is where did you get your config for the 2.6 kernel you're compiling? You can't use the 2.4 configs because too many of the symbol names have changed.

udev is needed as well right?

I did compile the sk98lin module for some 2.4 kernel back in the day, was very trouble free, might even have been RHEL3 since we used that back then.
Try this one:
Marvell

I don't believe so, unless you want a dynamic, managed /dev. But I could be wrong, it's been quite a while since I've tried to run a box without udev.

It'll run fine without it.

The problem might occur with init scripts or a initrd image were you have things expecting devfs support.

Hi, I'm back

I installed CentOS 4.4 and it recognize the card, but I can not get the card up, when I use lspci I get this:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11) (rev 11)

but when I type dmesg, I get this:

mtrr: base(0xe0020000) is not aligned on a size(0x800000) boundary
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169
sky2 0000:04:00.0: unsupported chip type 0xb1
sky2: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -95
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3



I tried to compile the Marvell drive but it didn't worked, I got this error:

Check kernel header files (not found) [ failed ]
Kernel header not found. Please install the linux header files
development package or crate a symbolic link from the
/usr******/KERNEL_VERSION directory to linux
Example: ln -s /usr******/KERNEL_VERSION /usr******/linux

I don't really know what to do, I guess that is a very easy thing because I didn't find info about this, I tried what the example suggest but nothing. I got the Kernel version with uname -r
