Error compiling driver for Promise PDC30375

[somedude]

Hi everybody,

 

I am trying to install 10.0 on a PATA drive hooked up to a Promise SATA/UDMA133 TX2plus card.

Since the CD does list a driver but the file is nowhere to be found, I decide to compile my own driver from the source code on the Promise site.

 

The README is somewhat comprehensive and I was able to pass all prerequisites.

 

Unfortunately, the driver won't 'make'. I get make: *** [pdc618_mod.o] Error 1

 

There are many errors reported by make, though, I I don't know whether they are all critical or just one, which is what the error message leads me to believe: Error 1.

 

This is what I am getting from make:

....

Sorry for the lengthy post.

I would really appreciate some guidance with this issue.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Kernel: 2.6.3-7mdk

Distro: Mandrake 10.0 OE

gcc 3.3.2

Make 3.80 (GNU)

Ld 2.14.90.0.7 20031029 (GNU)

I think you haven't installed the kernel-source. Do 'urpmi kernel-source'

[somedude]

Thank you for your reply.

 

I did. I have the sources in

/usr/src/linux/

Actually there's a soft link to 2.6.3-7mdk/...

 

Do you think I'm missing modules? If I look at the errors as they occur,

there's a bunch of .h files that are missing.

If these files are specific to 2.4 kernel, is there any way to make it compile with 2.6?

I think you're right about the 2.4 kernel. http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2...01/msg02192.php. Couldn't find the source but found this http://lwn.net/Articles/82067/

 

Maybe that can help.

Thanks again.

 

Still, if using Linux taught me anything, that is 'Never give up'.

 

 

Update:

 

Well, it looks like I have to use 2.4. Shoot. I'm back to square one.
