    video card installation

    Updated

    i am trying to install my video card, ASUS radeon 9550 onto my computer. found this useful site
    http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.sta...er.html#kernel
    but when i do fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-l-386" --added-modules fglrx-kernel-src modules_image i get an error message....

    Code:
    root@faner:/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11# fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-l-i386" --added-modules fglrx-kernel-src modules_image
We do not seem to be in a top level linux kernel source directory
tree. However, there are kernel headers that may be suitable to build
external kernel modules. Since you do not have non-module targets, let
us continue.
Warning: The file include/linux/version.h exists
The contained UTS_VERSION string:
                        "2.6.11"
does not match expectations:
                        "2.6.11-l-i386"
I'll try and recover
/bin/sh: /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such file or directory
You should invoke this command from the top level directory of
a linux kernel source directory tree, and as far as I can tell,
the current directory:
        /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11
is not a top level linux kernel source directory.

        (If I am wrong then kernel-packages and the linux kernel
         are so out sync that you'd better get the latest versions
         of the kernel-package package and the Linux sources)

Please change directory to wherever linux kernel sources
reside and try again.

    The error pretty much tells you how to fix the problem -- it just needs the kernel source. Since you didn't tell us the distro, etc you are using, I can't guess on the appropriate way to install it for your system. Personally, I build my boxes from source, so I'd just download the proper kernel package from www.kernel.org and unpack to /usr/src, but you should use whatever package management system your distro employs to do that.

    3 Rules:
    1) "It doesn't work..." is simply not useful information.
    2) Don't cross post!
    3) If you are asking for help, start by telling us your distro/os and version.

    If you are indeed using Knoppix, like it says under your avatar, fire up synaptic and do a search for kernel-source. Select the one that matches your kernel, and you'll be off and running. To find out your kernel version, open a terminal and enter
    Code:
    uname -r
    There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

    yes i am running knoppix 3.8, using 2.6.11 kernel and i386 arch. the closest kernel source i can find using synaptic is 2.6.10 when i search for kernel-source. where would i get my kernel-source and how would i install it(if it weren't through synaptic)? i tried www.kernel.org but how and which package would i use? or how would i find it through synaptic(i tried reloading the list)?

    You could go to ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and download the tar package that matches your kernel version, then extract it into the /usr/src directory. You should probably modify the symlink in that directory named linux to point to your new kernel source directory (if that symlink doesn't exist, create it).

    well i cd'ed into the linux-2.6.11 directory and ran the line again, i did create a symlink using
    Code:
     ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.x.y /usr/src/linux
    i got passed the beginning and went through a seriously long set of questions and after them i got this

    Code:
    :/usr/src/linux-2.6.11$ sudo fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-l-386" --added-modules fglrx-kernel-src modules_image
Warning: The file include/linux/version.h exists
The contained UTS_VERSION string:
                        "2.6.11-l-386y"
does not match expectations:
                        "2.6.11-l-386"
I'll try and recover
Please ignore the warning about overriding and ignoring targets above.
These are harmless. They are only invoked in a part of the process
that tries to snarf variable values for the conf.vars file.
