Installing on Slackware64
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 12:16 am
Hello,
I've been trying all day to install your drivers, without success I'm afraid.
I'm using a slackware 64-bit system, with linux 2.6.37.6.
I can re-compile the linux kernel if necessary, in fact I have done many times but to no avail.
The card I'm trying to use is the TBS 6920, and I'd like to use it with TVHeadend (or possibly VDR).
How can I tell if the correct kernel modules have compiled and been installed properly? Also, what other options should be enabled in the kernel compile? When I try to enable the required modules, I get errors like:
By the way - I'm not installing this on an actual unRAID system, as the above snippet might imply. It's actually a full slackware install but with unraid software installed on top of that. There is one modification to the kernel md driver from unraid which is why it is named differently.
I've been pulling my hair out over this for ages now, so if anyone could give me some clue as to the correct way to do this, I'd be extremely grateful.
Just to clarify: it's slackware64-13.1. I'm not running X so this is all at the console (actually I'm doing most of it via ssh), and it's kernel 2.6.37.6.
PLEASE HELP!
