    Re: Kernel/Recompile/Fnfxd

    I read your earlier thread.

    First you need to check that the modules you want arn't allready compiled as modules, and just not loaded. The easy way is to try to load the module you want
    Code:
    sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi
    If this doesn't work then more indepth stuff is involved. This is the quick dirty hack version, known to work for me in the past, sometimes. But fear not because you won't be wasing all of your time if it doesn't work.

    Use apt-get/synaptic/whatever to get the linux-tree for your running kernel (use uname -a if your are unsure to the version)
    Extract the archive in /usr/src (linux-2.6.13.tar.bz2 or whatever)
    Open a terminal and navigate to the source folder
    Code:
    cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.16
    Now, this bit can be hit and miss
    Code:
    sudo make oldconfig
    This should copy the config from your running kernel to the .config file in the source directory (the file that tells make to build with regards to kernel support and modules)

    NOTE: you may need extra packages to run make config, as you will to compile any source. My problem here is that I do a lot of from source stuff and can never remember what packages are needed, it's something I do on install, once, and forget about. Off the top of my head I know I always install make, gcc, autoconf , g++ and build-essential, plus ncurses devel for 'make menuconfig'. These are in the dev section in synaptic IIRC

    If make oldconfig worked, then run
    Code:
    sudo make menuconfig
    navigate to Power Managment Options>>ACPI>>Toshiba Laptop Extras and press m (must be a module for my dirty hack to work)
    Exit and save the config
    Code:
    sudo make
    Let it run through, then find and copy toshiba_acpi.ko (find ./ -iname toshiba*) into your running kernel module tree (/lib/modules/<current-kernel>/misc/), then try to modprobe it.

    This is a very very dirty hack, but if it works your home free. If not they you are most of the way to compiling a custom kernel anyhow, find a wiki guide and follow the steps they have there, you will have done most of it allready.

          I just thought this might be some good reading while you are working on your project.
