loading driver into Linux kernel 3.0.0-15

loading driver into Linux kernel 3.0.0-15

Postby Archfer » Wed Feb 01, 2012 12:08 am

I have just upgraded from kernel 3.0.0-14, which was working OK. DKMS reports the driver module active in the new kernel but it is not listed with lsmod so I tried to MAKE && MAKE INSTALL again but I get the following error:

make[1]: *** [media-install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/tbs/linux-tbs-sources/v4l'
make: *** [install] Error 2

Any help would be gratefully received.

When I upgraded kernels (2.6.37 -> 2.6.38) on ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I tended to find I needed to unzip the source files into a new directory and recompile from scratch. A make clean didn't seem to cut it.

Hi Rich

Thanks for your reply. I did discover that eventually. Each time I rebuilt it for 3.0.0-15 when I got round to checking it was still building for 3.0.0-14. I did a complete removal of all files and directories and started again from scratch but still got the same error and no module loaded. DKMS should have loaded it anyway and has all the correct files in the /lib/modules/3.0.0-15-generic/updates/dkms directory but it didn't load the module. I tried removing and replacing the files from the DKMS build tree manually but that didn't make any difference.

I would like to go back to 3.0.0-14, since I know that works, but Mythbuntu seems to have disabled the esc key at start up to get into GRUB. I can't believe that no-one out there has upgraded to 3.0.0-15 and not had this problem!
