Can someone translate into english the following paragraphs found in the MOL
Userguide (http://www.maconlinux.org/userguide/compile.html) under compiling
the kernel:
<begin quote>
MOL consists of two parts, a kernel module and a user binary. It is crucial
the kernel module is compiled using kernel headers corresponding to the
running kernel.
(i) As a first step, check the version of the kernel, for instance by doing:
bash$ uname -a
Linux smac 2.6.5
(ii) If the running a kernel was bundled with the Linux distribution, make
sure the relevant kernel-headers package is installed. MOL looks for the
kernel headers using the symlink /lib/modules/2.6.5/build (or /usr/src/linux
as a fallback).
</end quote>
A 'ls -la /lib/modules/2.4.22-2f/build' results in this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Apr 28 23:01
/lib/modules/2.4.22-2f/build -> ../../../usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f
How does that relate to the "No mol-0.9.69 kernel modules corresponding to the
running 2.4.22.-2r kernel were found" message?
Thanks.
