I had posted an earlier issue with netmos and that does not work anymore but found opensuse src rpm. I would like to request that the src.rpms on this site be rebuilt for mandriva. trying to program my amateur radio antenna tester and need a working serial port.

thanks again

Re: netmos for mandriva
In mandriva is not possibile to use those rpm or to do an easy convert from those:
mandriva use dkms-module, each time compiling the first time when a new kernel is detected, adapting a standard source to many different compatible kernel versions,
those in suse are only static driver modules, working only for one kernel version, for those specific kernel versions not for a generic kernel version
I saw some manual solution building manually the driver, for example, here:
http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhfo ... /3282.html
your request is too difficult to satisfate
bye, NicCo

Nicco,
Withe de SRPM -> http://software.opensuse.org/search/dow ... ry=MCS9865
And this spec-file as example -> http://users.telenet.be/x86_64/SPECS/dk ... pback.spec
Maybe it will work.

Re: netmos for mandriva
Nicco,
This spec-file will make only ONE module: mcs9865.ko.gz
Howto change to make both module:
mcs9865.ko.gz
mcs9865-isa.ko.gz

Re: netmos for mandriva
Hi MauRice,
I think your spec is good and it creates the mcs9865-isa.ko file, the problem is in the make install.
As I see in te mcs9865_isa_installation text file : as command line in the kernel start, maybe using Mandriva Control Center, reboot and use this file :
http://mib.pianetalinux.org/2010.2/64/b ... noarch.rpm

As I see in te mcs9865_isa_installation text file :
the standard uart driver is inbuilt in the kernel so I think forrestw517 must putInstalling the Driver for kernel versions >2.6.17
---------------------------------------------------
Make sure whether the standard uart driver(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) is compiled as a module(=m) or inbuilt(=y). This can be seen in .config file of corresponding kernel directory(/usr/src/linux-2.6.XX).
If the standard uart driver is inbuilt then the following steps to install driver:
1.Go to /etc/grub.conf and modify the line at the current kernel
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.xx ro root=LABEL=/ 8250.nr_uarts=8
2.Now reboot the system and go to driver directory.
3.“make install” is the command to install the serial driver.
Code: Select all
8250.nr_uarts=8

Re: netmos for mandriva
Thanks Dago68,
If it works, fine for me.
I don't have that item, so I can't test it properly.

Dago68,
With this spec-file it will compile & install both modules on mine system without the hardware and boot-option 8250.nr_uarts=8.

Dago68 rebuilt the package with the new specfile, and now it's working.
Files ready in MIB repo.
Ciao.
