Modules install wrong kernel

Hi! I'm for 2 weeks on Arch. Came here from Gentoo
I've build new kernel. Without pkgbuild (or how is it called?). It warks fine. But pacman still installs new modules in old kernel directory. For example, madwifi. Now my modules are in /lib/2.6.28-axell, but pacman installs all them in /lib/2.6.27-ARCH.
How to fix it?
Thanks!

But how do they install modules when new kernel appears in pacman db? All packages got rebuild to fit it?
Anyway, thank you)
Btw, I'm trying to set up fbsplash. I've got framebuffer console with default kernel, but I had kernel panic when it tried to mount root fs. May be there is any othr way to fix it, then recompiling own kernel?
And on more question: there is some way to get source pacages through pacman. I suppose, it has automated system for compiling them (like gentoo's portage). If I try installing madwifi that way, would modules install in proper kernel directory?
Thank you once again.

  • [Solved]catalyst-rt module for realtime kernel

    Hello,
    I've compiled and intstalled the rtkernel with the directions posted here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52201
    My laptop uses an ati card and needs catalyst drivers. The fglrx module works fine with the vanilla kernel and pacman does not install it for the rt kernel(I think they are not compatible?) so I think I need the catalyst-rt module(also while installing the kernel, the pkgbuild told me that I needed catalyst-rt).
    I could find no packages named catalyst-rt in the repos, but AUR database has one:
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16825
    But I think there is a problem with the install. After I compile the package and run it with "pacman -U", it complains about an unexpected EOF because of an unmatched quote mark. I've extracted the generated "catalyst-rt-8.5-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz" file to see if I can come up with something, there is indeed a missing quote in one of the echo statements in the contained catalyst-rt.install file. I tried fixing and retarring it but pacman complained about missing metadatas  in the package. This is my 3rd day with arch(and one of those days my Internet connection was broken) so I don't have many clues.
    I figure that there are very few people running ati drivers on a rt kernel here(searching for catalyst-rt yields to nothing) but maybe you can help me fix the issue myself, or maybe there is an easier way to use catalyst with an rt kernel?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Ok, some more progress:
    As I said, the vanilla kernel works fine with the catalyst drivers. Fully accelerated etc. When working with vanilla kernel if I say " dmesg | grep fglrx", the output is fine:
    fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
    [fglrx] vendor: 1002 device: 71c5 count: 1
    [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 1898 MBytes.
    [fglrx] PAT is enabled successfully!

    [fglrx] Reserved FB block: Unshared offset:ffff000, size:1000
    As you can see, the loaded version is fglrx 8.50.3 [Jun  2 2008].
    Now if I try the same on rt-kernel with catalyst-rt drivers loaded, the loaded version is shown as the incompatible fglrx 8.49.7 [May 12 2008] version.
    The package PKGBUILD downloads is ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64
    So I assume that should be at least 8.5? Where does this loaded 8.49.7 come from?
    I'm checking /lib/modules/<myrtkernel>/ to see if there are any other fglrx.ko floating around but there is only one, the one installed from the package built with ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run
    Since I'm not very competent with linux, I'm hoping some of you can show me some directions. I may try packaging a new ati driver to check but if ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64 is actually 8.49, which one should I try then? 8-6? 8-7? I quite don't understand.

  • Nvidia module for custom kernel

    Hi all. I've compiled a custom kernel using abs according to the instructions on the wiki, but I'm having a hard time installing the nvidia module using the instructions on the Nvidia page of the wiki. The install always aborts complaining of not being able to find the kernel source. I do have the kernel-headers installed:
    [root@myhost greg]# pacman -Ss linux-headers
    core/linux-headers 3.1.5-1 [installed]
        Header files and scripts for building modules for linux kernel
    I've also edited the nvidia.install and PKGBUILD files to point to the correct version file:
    [greg@myhost ~]$ cat /lib/modules/3.1.5-1-test/extramodules/version
    3.1.5-1-test
    I've really searched hard, but can find no remedy. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    From what I can see, the only installable package that was built is linux-test-3.1.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz. That's with the PKGBUILD file supplied from /var/abs/core/linux as per the wiki.

  • Is it possible to install 2 kernels ?

    I have following questions about my newly installed arch system.
    1. Is it possible to have 2 kernels ? So that i can test the new one and then get rid of the older if I find the new one stable.
    If yes, please point me to the documentation.
    2. If it is not possible, how can I avoid  possible system breakdowns due to the untested (untested only for my system) kernel ?
    thanks & regards,
    Hardik

    1: Yes, if each kernel has a differnt name. You can either install another kernel like the -lts one, or you can build your own custom one with a different name. To do that, search on the wiki for "Custom kernel", the wiki is a very good resource.
    2: Also, if you don't want to go that far in case of something going wrong you can reinstall the older kernel from your cache if you haven't cleared it. To do that you would boot the live cd, chroot into your installation, then issue a pacman -U on the old kernel package. A tutorial on how to chroot into your installation can be found on the wiki page for dealing with kernel panics: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Panics

  • Wrong kernel loaded?

    Hello
    I am currently in the process of installing arch and i had a networking problem i had no interfaces so i came across some thread which said that if that happens u might be loading the wrong kernel
    so i ran
    uname -a
    : Linux 3.17.3
    and also pacman -Qi linux
    :linux 3.17.4
    and then i looked more on that issue and i came across this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181536
    in which someone said you might not be mounted to boot so i tried mount /dev/sda2(this is the boot partition) /boot and i got in return error
    unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
    the thing is that i made it fat according to this tutorial http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1860 … -uefi.html of installing arch on a uefi motherboard and also according to this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Partition
    i just wanna state that during the installation process i dont remember any problems mounting the partition
    what do i do to fix this problems?
    thanks a lot

    What is the output of mount
    Also, please post your /etc/fstab file.
    and what is the output of ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

  • Compiling and Installing Compiled Kernel

    Hi everyone, today i followed the "Kernel Compilation From Source" (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … rom_Source) ArchWiki to compile a kernel downloaded from kernel.org. And i use the second method to compile and install with makepkg.
    When the compilation is done, it can't be installed because the name of the file.
    I know i must specify a new name for the new linux image and the System.map to have two or more kernels installed. But "where" in the PKGBUILD i must change the name of the files???
    I'm using the PKGBUILD from the wiki:
    pkgname=kernel26-my
    basekernel=2.6.32.8
    pkgver=2.6.32.8
    pkgrel=1

    When installing the kernel there is some problem when the "mkinitcpio" is running: sd_mod error.
    I can install and boot the kernel afterwards but when i get to kdm, the keyboard and the touchpad/mouse doesn't work.
    I double checked the .config file and i have enabled the keyboard and the mouse options.
    What can i do?
    Thanks...

  • [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?
    Last edited by Ploink (2012-12-29 16:00:42)

    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.

  • Missing modules from previous kernel

    Hi guys,
    It's a long time that I can't fix following problem.
    I MUST run on kernel 2.6.14. Why ? When I try to upgrade my kernel my modules from old kernel(2.6.14) are not compiled to upgradet kernel.
    I use following commands: make clean bzImage modules modules_install
    Old school. I download kernel from www.kernel.org.
    Can u help me, finally to solve it ?
    Thank a lot.

    Aren't they compiled or aren't they installed? What is the output of:
    make modules
    make modules_install
    After modules_install, is there a directory in /lib/modules matching in name your kernel version (i.e., the output of
    uname -r
    after you reboot with the new kernel)?
    Anyway, on 2.6 kernels, it should be enough to do so:
    make
    make modules_install
    cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/<thenameyoulikeandyouputinthebootloaderconfigfile>
    That is to say, with 'make' you compile the modules too.

  • 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.

  • 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

    cd $newdir

    if [ -z "$_kernver" ]; then
    echo "PKGBUILD does not have $_kernver."
    return 1

    if [ $? = 0 ]; then
    package="`find $newdir -name *pkg.tar.gz`"
    # variable is at top

    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.

    I have the following MacPro Desktop. Model Identifier MacPro1,1, with two Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors at 2.66 GHz. I have 4 GB of memory. There is not a Bluetooth module installed, but I would really like to be able to disconnect from my Logitech USB headphones and go to a Bluetooth set for more mobility in my office.
    I use Line 2 Pro VOIP phone service and sometimes I need to move from my desk to a file cabinet to retrieve something while on the phone. I hate putting people on hold while I do this.
    First, is this possible?
    Second, if it is, where do I find such a module?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

    I was prompted to download newest version of itunes, which I did and the restarted the computer.  Now it says itunes is currupted or installed wrong.  What do I do so that I don't loose my music and apps.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?
