I'm running the 2.6.2-1mdk kernel and I've installed kernel-source-2.6.2-1mdk. Downloaded the 261 src.rpm from nvidia's site and installed with "rpm --rebuild".

It aborts with errors (not the "buildmeister" errors)

 

I've tried the 248 src.rpm and the 261 tar.gz. Here's the output from the tar.gz attempt:

[root:nforce]# make

I don't know how to decipher this, other than seeing there is a missing file (irq.h)

 

BTW, I tried this on a fresh 9.2 install on a different partition, with the 2.4.22 kernel and matching kernel-sources, also aborted with similar errors.

 

I need it mainly to get the onboard LAN working. Harddrake recognizes the chip as ‎nForce2 MCP Networking Adapter but it won't work without the "nvnet" driver/module.

 

Mboard is Epox 8rda3I

 

Anyone have this working?

The kernel I'm running right now is a standard installed .rpm (not compiled by me), but I have compiled a 262 kernel and tried to install the nforce src.rpm against that. No go.

 

the new 2.6 kernels actually have a working nforce driver included with them.

 

Do you know the name of the driver? I didn't notice anything I could use while compiling the kernel

when you do the make menuconfig step, it'll be somewhere in

 

device drivers > Networking Support > Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbit)

 

then include "Reverse engineered nforce ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL)"

 

don't let the EXPERIMENTAL put you off ;-)

good luck!

I don't know how to decipher this, other than seeing there is a missing file (irq.h)

if it's already included, why compile for it?

 

when a file is missing use urpmf <filename> to find out what pkg it's in and install that pkg. If the pkg is installed then either your devel $ENVIRONMENT is not rt or there's a version problem.

 

I am on debian but I chroot to ml...these are only a few results....there are many more.

I got the EXACT same error, so I'm in the same boat as you.

I did "urpmf irq.h" and the results only pertain to the 2.4.22 kernel

kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/linux/irq.h

Does that mean the nforce.src.rpm/tar.gz only works on 2.4 kernels?

 

Anyway, I'm going to look through my 2.6.2 kernel and see where I can enable the module, as it's apparently included.

 

I have also tried "modprobe nvnet" and got "module not found", so either it's not enabled or it's compiled into the kernel

you need

glibc-devel

and

kernel-source

for your running kernel.

I have glibc-devel-2.3.2-14mdk installed and 2.6.2-1mdk kernel running with kernel-source-2.6.2-1mdk installed

[root:marc]# rpm -q glibc-devel
glibc-devel-2.3.2-14mdk

[root:marc]# uname -r
2.6.2-1mdk

[root:marc]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.4.22.6mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-doc-2.4.22-5mdk
kernel-2.6.0.1mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-2.6.2.1mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-source-2.6.2-1mdk

 

nforce.src.rpm still won't work

yes, but urpmf doesn't show that you have a glibc-devel with irq_vectors.h and irq.h...unless you just didn't post it earlier.

 

I have (and it has them)[cooker]

glibc-devel-2.3.3-9mdk

I installed glibc-devel-2.3.3-10mdk plus other dependencies.

If I look at bvc's output of urpmf irq.h, I can find all those files in the right places on my box, but if I do "urpmf irq.h" (or any other disputed file), I get no output.

 

Are these files somehow not in the path?

 

My whole point here is to get the onboard LAN to work, but it seems a lot simpler to me to just install a NIC and be done with it :angry:
