qeldroma Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I want to build a kernel for my epia-Motherboard and need some not-standard kernel-features, can't use the default one. So i need to compile one. Because VIA only delivers prebuild binaries (modules) for their hardware, i am forced to build a kernel that can use them. Facts: 1. Theese modules are build for LM9.1-kernel (2.4.21) 2. I need to turn on "Root on nfs" because diskless client 3. I need them for X11 !! 4. It will get a multimediastation, if i can get it working Option: 1. Can someone give me a RPM for the BETA XFree86-4.3.99?? It has via-support... 2. I can't get it compiled, many things missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Which EPIA board have you got? I have an M10000 and just about everything works out of the box with LM9.1. VIA has linux drivers for the M10000 for graphics and the mpeg decoder hardware. I did make sure to configure the motherboard with their windows software before installing linux though. Glitz.

qeldroma Posted September 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 BUT...... You didn't build your own kernel and i HAVE to. Then it's impossible to use the provided drivers, because they are built for the default-kernel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Which VIA drivers in particular do you need? The binary graphics drivers claim to be kernel independent. Glitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qeldroma Posted September 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 of course. My Kernel is SO individual, that the binaries wont work, although all v4l-things are there as modules, so the via-modules should find the interfaces to lock into. My kernel is only able to boot over network (NFS), doesn't know ANY filesystem except nfs, and so on. Means, it is stripped down for network-boot and nfs and v4l....
