[Asterisk-Users] Mandrake & CAPI & EPIA!

[Razza]

I tried to force the modules (man insmod = modprobe -f in Mandrake
land?) and zaptel looked good, unfortunately wcfxo gave the same errors
as ever.

I have modified the /usr/src/linux/makefile by removing the word custom
from the end of the  EXTRAVERION statement, so it now looks like - 

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 8
EXTRAVERSION = .1-12mdk
NAME=Zonked Quokka

Which looks good to me?

/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk/include/linux/version.h looks like - 

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.8.1-12mdk"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132616
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

Based on the first line I assume that's ok?

Zaptel seems to compile to the right place
'/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk'

So I guess my only option is to go with the Kernel upgrade, which looks
a bit scary! Unless I'm being thick, this could have all been avoided
during the installation process if I had benn allowed to tell linux my
motherboard is a patent liar and he is really a i586?

Well, I'll just jump in then :)

Send us the output of:
head /usr/src/linux/Makefile
It will show the version and ExtraVersion bits...

Look at the output of the make linux26 when you compile zaptel. See
where it thinks the kernel source is coming from....

If all else fails, I promise the best solution would be to download a
kernel from www.kernel.org and compile your own.

If you have a file /proc/config.gz then you should be able to use that
to make sure you will use the same options in your self-compiled kernel.

Good luck... :) I've never used mandrake, but I always find the
best/easiest way to deal with these things is to just compile my own
kernel. Also, I think you can tell insmod to ignore version mis-match
(man insmod), not a good idea, but it might work :)

Regards,
Adam
