SlCKB0Y Kernel 2.6.29.1 Downloads - Update!

[hillsoft]

Look in your directory where acerhdf is.

See if the acerhdf.ko file exists. That is the compiled kernel module

It so try the following, to finish the install manually.

sudo cp acerhdf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc (and if this line works, do the following two lines.)
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe acerhdf

After that last modprobe the fan control module should run.

[c-m]

Code: Select all

carl@carl-laptop:~$ cd acerhdf_kmod
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ ls
acerhdf.c   acerhdf.mod.c  acerhdf.o  Module.markers  Module.symvers
acerhdf.ko  acerhdf.mod.o  Makefile   modules.order
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo cp acerhdf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
[sudo] password for carl:
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo depmod -a
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo modprobe acerhdf
FATAL: Module acerhdf not found.
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$

That file was already there as i compied it using the default kernel. is that the problem

EDIT:- tried deleting the directory and extracting/making again.

Code: Select all

carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo make install
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/build  SUBDIRS=/home/carl/acerhdf_kmod modules

Thanks hillsoft, it's now working for me!

I had to create the /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc directory first as well as create the Link to folder (inode/directory) named 'build' pointing to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28sickboy-kuki

dj,

Glad to hear it is working now.

c-m,

You will want to do the following since you previously built it for another kernel. I don't think it will work if you compile it for one kernel and just try that module on a different one.

"make clean"
"make"
"sudo make install"

Now if you have errors about the build directory you will need to fix it as we talked about previously.

If you have different errors than what dj had, post them and we can hopefully get it straightened out.

Just make sure you have the sickboy headers installed also.

Very confuse... im going to keep acerfand script, it works fine with me...

[hillsoft]

If dj wants to send me his compiled module (the ko file) I can make a little install script and package it. Then everyone with the sickboy kernel can use that.

Or dj is welcome to do this himself.

The compiled module for the sickb0y kernel can be found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/205373380/acerhdf.ko

How can i install this?

[hillsoft]

Well download the file dp linked to above.

Go to terminal and change to the directory the file you just downloaded is at.

Try this.

sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
sudo cp acerhdf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe acerhdf

I recommend having any other fan control off.

The above is just a quick hack. If your sickboy kernel version is different the first two lines need to be changed.

If that works we can incorporate it into a little script that autodetects the kernel version

[jango]

Have someone try it?

... whats is the diference between this fan control and the acerfand script?

Thanks
