October 9, 201213 yr EDIT: It works! Apparently it was all about timing... See http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=24303.0 I'm sorry for starting a new thread, since I've already been posting in the thread at http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20782.0, but since this isn't a TVHeadend related issue anymore, I hope it's okay to start a new one. It's probably not even related to unraid 5, but that's what I'm running, so this is where I'm posting EDIT: Sorry, wrong forum - the thread has been moved When trying to build my own TVHeadend-ready rc8a kernel I need to compile and install the Realtek r8168 manually. Problem is whenever I try to "make module" it results in an error. This is what I'm doing: wget the following packages to the dir /mnt/cache/.unraiddev/packages_slack13.1.0 (these are the packages needed to get both TVHeadend and VirtualBox running, so they have nothing to do with what I'm actually trying to build...). http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.4.11.tar.gz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/gcc-4.4.4-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/l/glibc-2.11.1-i486-3.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/binutils-2.20.51.0.8-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/make-3.81-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/cxxlibs-6.0.13-i486-2.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/pkgtools-13.1-noarch-1.tgz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/perl-5.10.1-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/cpio-2.9-i486-2.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/patch-2.5.4-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/l/ncurses-5.7-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/git-1.7.1-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/l/libidn-1.5-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/n/curl-7.20.1-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/pkg-config-0.23-i486-2.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/n/openssl-0.9.8n-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/infozip-6.0-i486-1.txz http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/gcc-g++-4.4.4-i486-1.txz http://lime-technology.com/download/doc_download/37-unraid-server-version-50-rc8a-aio Install the packages: installpkg *.t*z Download the Realtek driver from: http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false. Place the tar in /mnt/cache/.unraiddev/realtek_r8168 and: tar -xjf r8168*.tar.bz2 cd /mnt/cache/.unraiddev/realtek_r8168/r8168-8.032.00 make modules This results in the error: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. This happens no matter what I try to compile (have also been fiddling with the dvbhdhomerun module). I think this is a simple problem, but my understanding of linux is just too limited to solve it myself. And it's incredible how Google offers absolutely no help at all: I get a lot of hits, but the solutions to the problem are never consistent and never address slackware (mostly ubuntu which involves apt-get and other random packages that isn't part of unraid). I have been an unraid user for ages, but my post count on this forum is relatively low - I have always been able to google my questions, but not in this case... EDIT: I'm just trying to install a driver - is it really supposed to be this complicated? There are builds including both the dvbhdhomerun modules and the r8168, but none of them are based on rc8a. So it's possible, I just have no idea how it's done... I have also tried going a bit further with the kernel customization before trying to compile the modules (using the guide for 4.7 at http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Tvheadend_in_unRAID, taking into account the different kernel): Unzip the downloaded unRAID package: unzip unRAID* -d /mnt/cache/.unraiddev/ Go to "/usr/src" directory, and rename the folder "linux" to "linux_original" (notice I'm not using these directories): mv /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID_original Extract the vanilla kernel file (e.g. linux-2.6.32.9.tar.gz ) into "/usr/src": tar -C /usr/src/ -zxvf linux-3.4.11.tar.gz Link the new source directory (e.g. linux-2.6.32.9 ) to "/usr/src/linux" path: ln -sf /usr/src/linux-3.4.11 /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID Copy all default drivers and configuration to the new source directory: cp -rf /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID_original/* /usr/src/linux-3.4.11/ cp -f /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID_original/.config /usr/src/linux-3.4.11/ Link kernel headers includes to the new source includes: ln -sf /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID/include/asm-generic /usr/include/asm-generic ln -sf /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID/include/linux /usr/include/linux ln -sf /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID/arch/x86/include/asm /usr/include/asm Configure the kernel: cd /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID/ make clean make menuconfig and save the configuration. Then I give the r8168 another try: cd /mnt/cache/.unraiddev/realtek_r8168/r8168-8.032.00 make modules Which now results in: ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing. Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it. So I: cd /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-unRAID/ make oldconfig && make prepare This creates the /usr/src/linux-3.4.11/include/config/auto.conf, but trying the first step again: cd /mnt/cache/.unraiddev/realtek_r8168/r8168-8.032.00 make modules Now results in: WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-3.4.11/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.
