If you are installing Mosix on a Laptop, you will have to recompile
the PCMCIA sources, because they are distributed as a separate
package and not as kernel modules. On a Suse 7.1 machine, in theory,
this should work by
installing the packages and then running
rpm -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/pcmcia.spec |
as described in the SuSE manual [on page 358 of the German
edition]. However, the script tends to get confused by the
location of the libraries of the vanilla version and the Mosix
version, so after running the above line, you will have to go to
the sources in /usr/src/kernel-modules/pcmcia and run
When prompted for the "Module install directory", change the
default setting of "/lib/modules/2.2.19" to
/lib/modules/2.2.19-mosix |
Then run "make" and "make install", which should put the pcmcia
modules in /lib/modules/2.2.19-mosix/pcmcia . Note that you must be
running the Mosix kernel before you recompile the pcmcia sources.
