I have installed Fedora Core 6 and need to compile kernel to add in acpi toshiba support. I followed http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_fedora and i get an error after running make rpm for about 15 minutes relating no more space available on disk. I checked the disk space and the entire process from start to the make rpm filled up 1900mb of my free disk space, how can i get around this issue? didnt think it would use that much space. My machine details: Toshiba A100 Notebook 1.83 Core Duo 512RAM Kernel source being used - kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.src.rpm Thanks in advance.
Hi I compiled the kernel on another fedora core 6 box i had. I have manged to compile two kernels kernel-2.6.18.1 and kernel-2.6.18.2 and have added toshiba acpi and ieee80211 support as modules i have installed these kernels on my toshiba laptop and setup them up to boot fine. I am now getting the following problems when i try to load certain modules [root@localhost ~]# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18.6-custom/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.18.6-custom/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko': -1 Invalid module format [root@localhost ~]# modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.18.6-custom/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.18.6_custom/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko not found.
