Can rc.conf's MODULES detect which kernel I'm booting?

...because on one kernel I have some things compiled in that I want loaded by MODULES in another kernel.
Right now I either get "FATAL: Module not found" errors (and probably some time loss) when I specifiy the large set of modules and boot the kernel with compiled in stuff, or modules have to be loaded manually afterwards (making for an even larger time loss) when I specify the small set but launch the core kernel.
Weird setup?

Could you not just bugger around with rc.conf, something like:
[ "$(uname -s)" = "kernel26-ARCH" ] && MODULES=(module1 module2)
[ "$(uname -s)" = "kernel26-viper" ] && MODULES=(....)
Would that work?
It seems so:
[ "$(uname -r)" = "2.6.24-zen1-20080206" ] && MODULES=(...)
worked fine, and I haven't yet tried to boot the core kernel.
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions. It should be a smoother experience now.

[Solved] Can't find usbnet module in stock kernel

Hi,
I was trying to get USB tethering to work, and found that I don't have the "usbnet" module. Pkgfile tells me that linux and linux-lts both provide usbnet, but I can't find the module (in /usr/lib/modules/...) at all (I'm on the 3.6.10-1 kernel, just reinstalled it from the repositories to make sure). I checked the file list of the 3.6.9-1 kernel that I had in pacman's cache, and the module wasn't there either. Does anyone know why I'm not getting this module with my kernel?

pacman -Ql linux | grep usbnet
linux /usr/lib/modules/3.6.10-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.ko.gz
Edit: oops, I see you said you checked the file list. Sorry, I typed faster than I read. If you do not get similar output to this, then the linux package isn't properly installed.

[SOLVED] Can't build vboxdrv module

I can't build vboxdrv module with latest kernel 2.6.32.When I run vbox_build_module, I get
Makefile:152: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv'
make: *** [all] Error 2
but, when I run
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-ARCH vbox_build_module
I get this error
Makefile:179: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv'
make: *** [all] Error 2
What is the problem here?

Also using Virtualbox here and was able to build the modules against the new kernel using this procedure:
Update kernel 31 --> 32
install kernel26-headers (seems to me you have the wrong kernel-headers package)
reboot
rebuild mkinitcpio (KMS)
reboot
rebuild vbox modules
modprobe them or reboot

Use different cpufreq governors based on which kernel is running?

Following the advice in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pro_Audio, I've got to the cpufreq part. I've got both the default kernel and linux-rt installed. I think I want linux-rt to use the performance cpufreq governor, but suspect it would be inappropriate for general non-audio use. Is there a way to make Grub 2 boot linux-rt with performance, without it affecting the default kernel's cpufreq governor? Or maybe some other addition to the boot process that would detect which kernel is running, and then decide which cpufreq governor to use? Unless of course, linux-rt uses performance anyway, which would be convenient. I'm new here. Thanks!

Use a BASH script, which maybe looks for "rt" in `uname -r`
To change to performance (an echo for each "cpu"):
cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/ &&
for c in cpu[0-9]* ; do
echo performance > $c/cpufreq/scaling_governor
done

need to bump this thread i guess.
i also have a elantech touchpad on my zepto 3215w, and ive found this: http://arjan.opmeer.net/elantech/
the only available driver for elantech touchpads for linux.
i have kernel 2.6.25-arch now, also heard theres a 2.6.26 up n coming. can this patch be implemented in these kernels in some way?
and i dont know anything about kernel stuff so.. a helping hand would be nice on how to do it if its possible.

   To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
   on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
   in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits). Match
   this to the list of numbers above.
   For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the
   Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
   http://support.intel.com/support/networ … /21397.htm
   For the latest Intel PRO/100 network driver for Linux, see:
   http://appsr.intel.com/scripts-df/support_intel.asp
   More specific information on configuring the driver is in
   <file:Documentation/networking/e100.txt>.
   To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
   <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module
   will be called e100.

What are the modules in which we can create a party site?

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know, what are the modules from which we can create a party site.
Please repond.
Thanks,
Venkatesh

Hi,
There can be numerous modules which create party sites , Leads/Quotes/Order/Recievable/HR/IB/ISupport etc.
Actual number of modules depend on the kind of implementation.
Run this query in your Oracle instance , to get an idea of various modules which has created Party sites in your system.

Which kernel module should I use for Marvell Yukon 88E8001?

Which kernel module should I use for Marvell Yukon 88E8001?
a. sky2
b. skge
c. sk98lin

I found this in the kernel''s /driver/net/Kconfig:
config SKGE
tristate "New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support"
depends on PCI
select CRC32
---help---
This driver support the Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx
and related Gigabit Ethernet adapters. It is a new smaller driver
with better performance and more complete ethtool support.
It does not support the link failover and network management
features that "portable" vendor supplied sk98lin driver does.
This driver supports adapters based on the original Yukon chipset:
Marvell 88E8001, Belkin F5D5005, CNet GigaCard, DLink DGE-530T,
Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872.
It does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset: a separate driver,
sky2, is provided for Yukon2-based adapters.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called skge. This is recommended.
Looks like your module is "skge"

Sd_mod, sr_mod: which kernel options?

Hello all,
I just started fiddling around with compiling my own kernel because I'm not satisfied with the performance/latency of my desktop system.
I thought it would be a good thing to start with
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Compilation_From_Source
to get a hang of the whole procedure. I compiled a few kernels with minor changes (moving modules into the kernel etc.) just to see what happens and practice a bit. It all worked fine, adjusting menu.lst, mkinitcpio and so on...
Then I started to remove all the stuff that I (thought I ) didn't need for my laptop (TravelMate 4650). I ran into problems when mkinitcpio reported 'ata_piix' and other ata stuff missing but I went back to gconfig and it was easy to find out what I shouldn't have removed.
Now -- after ruthlessly double-clicking around in gconfig ("if it doesn't sound familiar, it has to go" ) -- mkinitcpio tells me I need 'sr_mod' and 'sd_mod', some really important SCSI modules (apparently). I don't even have SCSI devices but my disks are all /dev/sd* so that means I need SCSI support, right? This is the message:
[13:50:26][luke@calculon][~/kernelbuild/linux-2.6.23]$ sudo mkinitcpio -k 2.6.23-MY_ARCH -g /boot/kernel26-my-arch.img
:: Begin build
:: Parsing hook [base]
:: Parsing hook [udev]
:: Parsing hook [autodetect]
:: Parsing hook [pata]
ERROR: module 'sd[-_]mod' not found
ERROR: module 'sr[-_]mod' not found
:: Parsing hook [keymap]
:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
:: Generating module dependencies
:: Generating image '/boot/kernel26-my-arch.img'...SUCCESS
My problem now is that I can't figure out which kernel options are related to these two modules. The 'SCSI device support' section lists 'BLK_DEV_SD' and 'BLK_DEV_SR' which I activated with the 'M' (I looked up the config from abs to find the standard settings). I still get the same message. Does it make a difference (to mkinitcpio) if you mark something 'M' or 'Y'? I mean, does it realize that if something isn't there as a modul it might be integrated in the kernal already?
All in all I have to say is that the whole kernel compilation is not that complicated. I was always afraid to try but now (thanks to Arch) I started diving into the innards (eewww) of a Linux system. The important thing is to keep a working backup version in case something goes wrong (which will happen).
I've read a little (only superficially so far) about patching the kernel to increase performance/responsiveness on the desktop (which is my ultimate goal). There seems to be a big discussion going on (with Con Colivas and all) about this issue. I know, there are a lot of topics about this already but is applying kernel patches worth the effort? Can you feel a difference in performance? I've set the Processor Family option the Pentium-M (my CPU) and I set the Preemption Model to PREEMPT but that hasn't really made a difference. If you ask me, it's probably worse than before.
OK, the last paragraph was a little OT, my main problem are 'sd_mod' and 'sr_mod' . It takes 20 minutes to compile every time so I'm a little reluctant to just use trial and error with every module.
Thanks for immediate help or giving relevant links. Is there something that tells you exactly which module is linked to which config option? That would be really helpful.

I tried to mkinitcpio with both scsi disk support built into the kernel and as a module both ways I am not able to make my system work with the new kernel.
I get the same error if I try to run mkinitcpio with scsi disk support build into the kernel.
When the scisi disk sopport is left to be loaded later as a module, mkinitcpio works fine but later while booting the system complains that the partition was not found, i.e /dev/disk/by-uuid/"some kinda code" was not found.
I am not able to boot into my new kernel.
please help.

Should modules for different kernels differ?

I'm trying to build acpi_call-git from the AUR. The build seems to go rather too smoothly. I uninstalled a custom kernel (which I only have for debugging) which leaves the standard Arch and Arch LTS kernels installed. I have the headers installed for both kernels:
$ pacman -Qs linux-[lts-]*headers
local/linux-headers 3.11.4-1
Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux kernel
local/linux-lts-headers 3.10.15-1
Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux-lts kernel
What is confusing me is that the package seems to build identical modules for the two kernels and I am not sure whether that's right:
$ diff pkg/acpi_call-git/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.11-ARCH/acpi_call.ko.gz pkg/acpi_call-git/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.10-lts/acpi_call.ko.gz
$ echo $?
0
Shouldn't there be a difference between the two? That is, I know that you typically need modules which match the kernel - otherwise the modules can't be loaded. So presumably if building module M for kernel K1 produces M1, and building module M for kernel K2 produces M2, then M1 cannot be identical with M2.
Is there a problem here or am I just horribly confused?

If the kernel functions (especially the specifications) used by acpi_call haven't changed, then the module could indeed be the same for both kernels.
You'd have to check the kernel commits for acpi related changes to be sure.

Hyper-V kernel modules prevent Xen-kernel from finding disk drives

Hi,
I tried booting Xen-kernel 4.3 in a Hyper-V virtual machine. The vm runs Debian7, which uses hv modules for Hyper-V. When I boot the normal kernel, it is fine, but booting Debian's xen-kernel doesn't work, because no virtual disk drives
can be found. This looks like an issue with the hv modules, because without them, the xen-kernel boots fine. I tested this by using an older Debian6, where hv modules are not loaded by default.
Regards,
Sladi

the PV kernel "kernel-xen" is specific to the xen hypervisor.
This kernel will not boot on any other hypervisor.
Where the xen VM container in this case is a PV VM. Hyper-V only creates HVM type VM containers (To use xen language).
So yes, the pae or 'regular' kernel will wirk in a Hyper-V vm, the PV kernel ('kernel-xen') will not.
It has nothing to do with the hv components - it is the kernel itself and the differences in how they work and their expectations.
Also, only the HVM type VM is transportable across hypervisor platforms. The xen PV type VM is not, it will only run on xen.

[solved] Canonical way to detect what kernels are installed?

Planning to do a PKGBUILD for the nvidia modules which would install modules for all installed kernels (would basically steal the current PKGBUILD but run it separately for every kernel and have the modules installed seperately in each /lib/modules/<kernel_name>. Mainly for personal use, as I don't think it's 'allowable' for the AUR (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Currently I already have one PKGBUILD doing this, for phc-intel, where I basically do:-
for _KERNEL in `ls /lib/modules` ; do
Is this the 'correct' way to detect all installed kernels, or should I sed on the contents of /usr/src?:-
for _KERNEL in `ls /usr/src | sed 's/linux-//'` ; do
Or is there some other FHS-compliant manner of detecting all kernels installed?

Is it safe to remove these? And would your method attempt to install it for these older/no longer installed kernels?
I would think that if you still have 2.6.29-ARCH and 2.6.30-ARCH they would be empty? Or only contain separately compiled modules. Could you please ls the contents, and check whether you have corresponding /usr/src folders.

Script to easily build modules for custom kernels

I got bored, and thought of this ages ago. I have no use for it now, but i'm sure someone else will.
run:
abs-module $modulename $kernel
$modulename is any kernel module that's available in /var/abs, so if you have some that arent in a default abs, put em in /var/abs/local and they will be spotted by this.
$kernel is the name of the kernel that you want to compile for. this can be found with 'uname -r'. If $kernel is not specified, then it will default to what you are running now.
this will only work for module packages that have a variable called _kernver which sets the kernel it will be compiled for. I know all the winmodems, ATi and drivers I maintain do, not sure about some of the others. nvidia won't work.
#! /bin/bash
# Set the variables up
module="$1"
kernel="$2"
pacman="1"
current="`uname -r`"
# Check things
if [ -z "$module" ]; then
echo "No module specified"
return 1
fi
if [ -z "$kernel" ]; then
echo "No kernel specified, building for: $current"
kernel="$current"
fi
if [ ! -e "/lib/modules/$kernel/build" ]; then
echo "Specified kernel is not installed"
return 1
fi
# Check if module exists
origdir="`find /var/abs -type d -name $module`"
if [ -z "$origdir" ]; then
echo "Specified module does not exist"
return 1
fi
# Prepare to build
newdir="/var/abs/local/$module-$kernel"
if [ -d "$newdir" ]; then
rm -rf "$newdir"
fi
cp -R $origdir $newdir
cd $newdir
source PKGBUILD
if [ -z "$_kernver" ]; then
echo "PKGBUILD does not have $_kernver."
return 1
fi
sed "s/$_kernver/$kernel/g" -i PKGBUILD
sed "s/pkgname=$pkgname/pkgname=$pkgname-$kernel/g" -i PKGBUILD
# Build!
makepkg
# Post build messages/install
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
package="`find $newdir -name *pkg.tar.gz`"
# variable is at top
if [ "$pacman" = "1" ]; then
pacman -U $package
else
echo "Package is ready to install: $package"
fi
else
echo "Build failed"
fi
sorry if there's any stupid bash in there, i'm tired. and yeah, I know it's a tad verbose and spacy, but it seems to works fine.

Iphitus > I'm looking 4 something like your script that will allow me to load spca5xx when running my custom kernelbeyond
Unfortunetely spca5xx seems not to be manageable by your abs-module script, as its PKGBUILD doesn't have a variable called _kernver.

How can i add FICO module to the SAP Netweaver ABAP 7.02 trial version

Dear Brothers
I am a new learner of SAP and interested in learning FICO. As part of that I installed SAP Netweaver ABAP trial version and after the installation I had problem in Logging in but it was solved lately. Now I face an other challenge which I may share with u guys. After logging in I wanna start with a new company code creation for FICO but I cant find the Enterprise Structure for in SAP Reference IMG. Only I see the following structure
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide
     Activate Business functions
     SAP Net weaver
     Cross-Application Components
     Financial Supply Chain Management
     Integration with Other my Sap.com components
I expanded the tree structure but could not find the Enterprise Structure> Definition> Financial Accounting--> Define Company
So is this because of missing FICO module if so how can I install that module for I can learn myself @ home. Kindly help me to fix this prob and hope to hear from the SAP experts around the world.
W8ng for a reply have a gr8 day a head
Thnx
Cherian

My problem is solved ,, thanx whoever looked at it :).
the solution was that I downloaded and NSP license key but for an other version of the product.
Thanx.
