Re: enbd_ioctl 2.6.9 kernel fails to modprobe enbd - seg fault

Dear Peter,

How do I do just the userspace compile?

I did:

make config all 

as per the instructions.

What do you want me to do differently?

> But you showed me it NOT compiling. 

No - I showed you it compiling. Completely. The only thing I showed you
*today* was the changes I made to make gcc shut up and make it compile
completely. That's all. It just needed to make gcc shut up.

I did *very* little to make that happen. See the diff I sent previously.

All I did was to move the declarations and add the #ifdef .

That's it.

Nothing else.

Didn't touch the code apart from that.

Having done that it compiles *perfectly* (only inconsequential warnings
left AFAICS).

Both kernel and user space.

But doesn't install the modules in the kernel.

Gladly. Please tell me how I do just the userspace compile.

Both user and kernel compilation worked after I patched as above. Very
minor changes, just to get gcc to shut up, really!

But when I modprobe the kernel module it doesn't work.

Here is an ls -l of my /usr/local/sbin:

ls -l /usr/local/sbin
total 456
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 138506 Mar  2 14:26 enbd-client
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  23270 Mar  2 14:26 enbd-cstatd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   8959 Mar  2 14:26 enbd-maketest
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 144752 Mar  2 14:26 enbd-server
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  18205 Mar  2 14:26 enbd-sstatd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  23963 Mar  2 14:26 enbd-test

Here is:

ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.9-cm46customVM/misc/
total 152
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  7874 Mar  2 14:26 enbd_ioctl.ko
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 95266 Mar  2 14:26 enbd.ko

Compiling and installing both the user and kernel portions *really*
isn't the problem.

All the other stuff that remains after that are warnings, and I didn't
see anything that wasn't more or less benign in those. I will look again
for sure and send that too.

Kind regards

Derek.
