Hi,
I'm trying to get loadable kernel modules working for the Cobalt Qube2 =
(MIPS) port.
I've run into the problem that the /dev/lkm is not made.
Also /dev/MAKEDEV does not know about LKM.
I looked at the MAN page for MAKEDEV and it specifically mentions LKM.
I googled around and found someone with the same problem with a Sun3 =
system.
He had a patch for the Sun3 MAKDEV script which basically was this
+ lkm)
+ rm -f lkm
+ mknod lkm c 72 0
+ chown root.kmem lkm
+ chmod 640 lkm
I tried this on my Qube2 and the error during boot changed from=20
'Mppe.o: modload: /dev/lkm: No such file or directory'
To=20
'Mppe.o: modload: /dev/lkm: Device not configured'
I haven't found much about this problem
Has anyone run into this before or know what I should do?
Thanks
