 Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 8:37 am Post subject: [SOLVED] rts_bpp & Gentoo kernel 3.6.0, 3.6.1 |
 |

Hi
I am making a new topic for rts_bpp & Gentoo kernel 3.6.0, 3.6.1
Previous one, RTL8411 - rts_bpp is here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-922794.html
For the last months the solution from topic above was fine for every new kernel: make, make install, depmod, reboot and card reader did work.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with new Gentoo-kernel 3.6.0 & 3.6.1. I tough maybe there is a problem with a new kernel, but developer who did make this driver (rts_bpp) said it works for him for a new kernels. So I've made some research for Gentoo.
| Code: | * sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
Latest version available: 3.6.1
Latest version installed: 3.6.1

[1] Looks like here everything is OK like for previous kernels:
| Code: | # make
cp -f ./define.release ./define.h
make -C /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/build/ SUBDIRS=/mnt/rts_bpp modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.6.1-gentoo'

| Code: |
# make install
cp rts_bpp.ko /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi -f |
[2] But as a result, after rebooting computer there is no driver:
| Code: | # lspci -v

[3] What I realized, from the Gentoo-kernel 3.6.0 & 3.6.1 there is some difference in /lib64/modules after installing driver:
| Code: | # ls -la /lib64/modules/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct 8 22:35 .

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 8 22:32 3.6.1-gentoo
|
For 3.5.4 we have scsi folder, and there is a driver:
| Code: | # ls -la /lib64/modules/3.5.4-gentoo/kernel/drivers/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Sep 18 09:32 .

For Gentoo kernels 3.6.0 & 3.6.1 there is scsi file instead of scsi folder:
| Code: | # ls -la /lib64/modules/3.6.0-gentoo/kernel/drivers/
total 460
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 6 15:53 .

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 448862 Oct 8 22:32 scsi
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 8 22:28 staging

All I did for installations rts_bpp driver for those 2 kernels (3.6.0 & 3.6.1) was the same like for many others kernels before:
| Code: |
# make install
cp rts_bpp.ko /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi -f |
So whats wrong? Why I have scsi file instead scsi folder in those new kernels? Bellow header listing of this starnge scsi file:
| Code: | ELF Header:

| Err, the basics of the shell: You're copying the file "rts_bpp.ko" to a file called "scsi". |

It did work for the last few kernels:
| Code: | # make install
cp rts_bpp.ko /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi -f |
Maybe because there was no scsi folder, so option -f (for cp) made a scsi file (instead of coping this file inside scsi folder)
| Code: | -f, --force
if an existing destination file cannot be opened, remove it and try again (redundant if the -n option is used)
|
Anyway, I did manually scsi folder, did
| Code: | # make install
cp rts_bpp.ko /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi -f |
again. I have got scsi folder and there is a driver inside scsi:
| Code: | # ls -la /lib64/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 9 11:16 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 8 22:28 net
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 9 11:16 scsi
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 8 22:28 staging |
| Code: | # ls -la /lib64/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi/
total 448
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 9 11:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 9 11:16 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 448862 Oct 9 11:16 rts_bpp.ko

UPDATE
OK It works.
| Code: | [code]# make install
cp rts_bpp.ko /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi -f[/code]
|
The problem is if there is no scsi folder, so comannd above (make install) is creating scsi file instead of coping a driver inside /scsi file.
So after manually creating scsi folder, did make install again, depmod and everything works fine.
So Gusar,
should it be a
| Code: | | cp rts_bpp.ko /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi/ -f |
instead of
| Code: | | cp rts_bpp.ko /lib/modules/3.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/scsi -f |
