[64studio-devel] Missing "asm-x86_64/tsc.h" file in kernel headers 2.6.19 i386

[Brad Powell]

Out of curiousity, I installed 64Studio v1.0.0 from scratch and tried building the rt2570 driver using the original 2.6.17 kernel.  It actually built just fine, but when I try to "modprobe" it, I get the following error:

FATAL: Error inserting rt2570 (/lib/modules/2.6.17-2-multimedia-486/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2570.ko): Invalid module format

The kernel output from dmesg shows:

rt2570: version magic '2.6.17-2-multimedia-486 preempt mod_unload 486 gcc-4.1' should be '2.6.17-2-multimedia-486 preempt mod_unload 486 gcc-4.0'rt2570: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
rt2570: no version magic, tainting kernel.
rt2570: Unknown symbol there_is_no_init_MUTEX_LOCKED_for_RT_semaphores

Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this?

Brad

I think I ran into the same bug while trying to (unsuccessfully) build
the nvidia drivers. There's probably  a bug in the linux-kbuild-2.6.19
package, I have to further investigate this..

Ciao,
