i have install the update 2.6.35-25. now i can not install the driver linux-tbs-all_20101024.
I'm not able to build the driver on 2.6.35-25. the driver will be always build at the old kernel 2.6.35-24 and not to 2.6.35.-25. i see that at the terminal .

where is my mistake?

what's the error message(s)?

if i boot by grub in kernel 2.6.35-24 it works, if i boot kernel 2.6.35.-25 and try to install the driver i can see at terminal:

apt-get install linux-kernel-devel

?? should be kernel 2.6.35-25 ??

oh, your mistake is very simple - you build the driver in the kernel 2.6.35-24 that is saved in the configuration during the build process and thus you can't use the same driver after you upgrade and boot in the newer 2.6.35-25 kernel. so, the solution is very simple - you just need to unpack the driver source code in new directory and build it again in your 2.6.35-25 kernel.
