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.

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.
Log :

Compiling nvidia driver for custom kernel

I have a Toshiba M200 tablet PC running Arch Linux (which I love, btw) and it's running fine, including the tablet.
There's an irritating bug with suspend-to-ram (suspend-to-disk doesn't work with the nvidia driver) where the tablet pen stops working after resume.
There's a patch slated to be in some future kernel, but I compiled my own with that patch included. It boots fine and all seems to be well with it.
However, I need to compile the nvidia driver for it, since the binary does not work. So I copy /var/abs/extra/nvidia and modify the PKGBUILD and nvidia.install files per the instructions on this wiki page, and run makepkg -i -c .
I get a big error message early on, saying
If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
I've checked everything I can think of.
$ uname -r
2.6.25-tablet
ls -l /usr/src shows linux-2.6.25-tablet, and linux is a symlink to it. /lib/modules/2.6.25-tablet/build is also symlinked to the right kernel source tree.
So I'm out of ideas for why the nvidia makefile can't seem to find the kernel source.
Thanks in advance.

@klixon:
I think that may be the root of the trouble: I compiled the kernel on my desktop (C2D 2.8) rather than my wussy laptop (1.6 Centrino). It installed and ran fine and all that, but I only have the kernel source tree that was included in the package, not the one that really compiled the code. Would simply copying it suffice, or should I rebuild the kernel on my laptop? Also, the PKGBUILD is included below.
@shazeal:
I believe this is a subset of the problem I describe above?
The PKGBUILD, somewhat customized from the nvidia ABS. I don't think any of the changes are overly shocking.
I've tried dozens of different modifications of it now. The simplest one is just appending '-tablet' to pkgname and _kernver.

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.

Inbound function module for custom IDOC

HI,
I have created custom IDOC.I need to create inbound function module for that custom IDOC.Can any one send me sample
function module for custom IDOC.(what are all the import Export,tables parameters and exceptions that I need to create for function module)
Thanks&Regards
Rama.Mekala

HI Rama,
I presumed that You are talking about a FM to create inbound IDOC. So for creating inbound IDOC you can use '
    CALL FUNCTION 'IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS'
    TABLES
      idoc_control_rec_40 = gt_edidc
      idoc_data_rec_40    = gt_edidd.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
*    MESSAGE e000 WITH text-003.
* ELSE.
*    MESSAGE i000 WITH text-004 .
ENDIF.
just prepare edidc and edidd record in and pass it to the FM..
Hope this will work for you...
Thanks

PKGBUILD for custom kernel issue

Hi all,
Last night I was putting together a PKGBUILD for a kernel I'd like to compile that has the ck patchset, grsecurity (latest testing), and had broadcom-wl on it already so I don't have to keep reinstalling it from AUR and doing depmod each time as it keeps making me have to find an ethernet cable. I used the kerne26 Arch PKGBUILD as a base and included parts of kernel-netbook for broadcom-wl, kernel26-grsecurity, and kernel26-ck and altered name variables and links etc so it all works and all sources are downloaded. I also got the two .patch files (semaphore and something else) from the kernel-netbook tarball to build the thing with, I don't know if it would work without them.
However when I get into the build() a few patches are applied before I get messages about patches already applied or reversed, and then it says build failed because of an error, I can't tell which package is causing thins or why (it all goes by too fast, and the error says failed without reason, and the reversed patch messages are what is immediately previous to it). I have not yet gone all the way through the pkgbuild - especially towards the end, and I felt that the standard setup of init file system creation and such were ok, and if anything does need altering about it, I can deal with it once I get these first troubles solved.
Below is my pkgbuild so far. Hopefully there are people out there who can aid me with this.
Thanks,
Ben.

Thank you. I guess trying the abs method wouldn't hurt. My main issue was configuration. I've only just skimmed the PKGBUILD so I'm not aware of how it handles it. I suppose I could write my own as described in the wiki as well. Thanks again.
Edit: Further research has revealed to me that the kernel headers are merely there for when the full source tree isn't. Seeing as the full tree is present in my case, the headers are unnecessary. I may take graysky's advice though and use pacman to manage my kernel.

[solved] building the kernel headers for custom kernels

well, ive been building several different kernels for my laptop, so that i can test stuff. but ive got a problem with the kernel headers.
ive mirrored the arch kernel's PKGBUILD and modified some naming to get a custom kernel. but when i try to build a custmo module, it complains the headers are broken. (example, vbox_build_module).
im pasting the pkgbuild here for future reference...if someone sees something thats plain wrong, please say so.
thanks

for anything that might be missing. The error message when compiling would give you more of a clue. Off-hand, you may need to add 'generated', as I recall I needed that when the kernel moved to 2.6.33.
Problem with vbox_build_module after Kernel update.
Would you care to elaborate for us less versed in "Linux Geek" skills?

Cant find virtualbox vboxdrv (install vbox modules on custom kernel)

hi guys!
i recently installed virtualbox-ose using pacman -Sy virtualbox. it installed fine and i was able to create a vm. when i start my vm i get this error:
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}
i could not find /etc/init.d/vboxdrv. when i do for a search for vboxdrv, it shows me a vobxdrv.ko and its located on my original arch kernel 2.6.25-ARCH. im using a custom kernel. how do i tell virtualbox to build the modules in my custom kernel and not on the arch kernel. i remember i had the same problem with ndiswrapper before that ndis wrapper built the ndiswrapper module on my arch kernel instead of my custom kernel. any ideas?
thanks!

It says to specify the KERN DIR I searched on-line a some people said I should never have to do that. Will it solve my problem if I do? What do i specify it to?

Function module for custom report for cost center group

Hello all,
I wonder, if there is any SAP function module for following query:
We have got a custom program, which evaluates cost centers. We would like to evaluate a cost center group, like it is available within the report painter - the output screen is splitted into two parts, on the left part there is the cost centre group hierarchy and on the right side, there are the values for the node, which is selected within the hierarchy.
Is there any standard function module od do we have to program it ourself?
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
You have a BAPI which gives you the details of cost centre group, if this is what you are looking for:
BAPI_COSTCENTERGROUP_GETLIST

Eli

How to Assign a function module for customized IDOC

Hi,
I have created a customized IDOC. Can any body explain how to assign a FM for customized IDOC? Is same IDOC can be used for both Outbound and Inbound Process? In WE41 and WE42 we have to give the outbound and inbound function module name. can we give same function module? Is process code is same for both outbound and inbound process?
Valuable suggetions are appreciated.

Ram

Hi ,
Here is the Procedure for the Inbound Idoc Funtion Module
Function Module : SE37
Message : WE81
Assign message : WE82
Assgin FM : we57
Process Code : WE42.
Assign Partner Profile - WE20,
To test the Inbound IDOC.
In WE19, Give the IDOC number & execute ... then put the cursor on the idoc control record . then click on the Standard Inbound push button on the application tool bar.it will show show all the details like partner no,type , message type , process code & function module name ...
now put a break point in the function module .. & debug .
if u r using customised inbound function module , then click on inbound function module .. there u will get a pop screen with FM name & debugging option in both background & foreground mode...
Reward Points if it is Useful.

Missing extramodules in /lib/modules in custom kernel compiling.

Hello.
Im totally a newbie when it comes to compiling a kernel.And i have this little thing.
I follow this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ut_ABS.And everything works fine and i do make modules_install.
But when i look inside /lib/modules i see extramodules-3.1-ARCH from standard kernel there. I missing extramodules for my kernel. Should i not have one for my kernel??
I wonder if i miss to tick something in make menuconfig and if so where should i look for it??(i must be blind) or is it something else that i do wrong?
thanks
freddie

Look here.
From what I remember, /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build points to a kernel source which is indeed prepared to build external modules. Prepared in that it it's partially configured which is a requirement for building external modules.
Vmlinuz is your bootable kernel.

NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR CUSTOM KERNELS

I had a sony ericsson live with walkman earlier and I've flashed custom kernel and rom for it.. and it is working superbly so far.. Currently I've got an Xperia ray and I wish to do the same ... Before I get started let me know the best custom kernels out there for this device???
Solved!

As far as i know kernels from team free xperia(Free xperia Project) are the best
