Hi, after update my SLES 11 SP1 from kernel 2.6.32.12-0.7-default to 2.6.32.59-0.7-default I cannot compile my ixgbe-3.21.2 (Intel 10Gb ethernet module). $ cd /opt/ixgbe-3.21.2/src $ make install Makefile:117: \*\*\* Linux kernel source not configured - missing version header file. Stop. Coul be that I haven’t the proper kernel-headers file for my kernel? I have tried to find in my repos and was not possible.

Hi The linux-kernel-headers don’y change over kernel-releases , so as long as in this case it’s 2.6.32 all should be fine, now is make, gcc, kernel-source and kernel-syms installed? – Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86\_64) GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.11.10-7-desktop If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks! ---

Thanks Malcolm, yes I have installed all packages you proposes me. I have solved just for a miunute symlinking two files in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include autoconf.h → /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.59-0.7/include/linux/autoconf.h version.h → /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.59-0.7/include/linux/version.h Now the compilation say: ########################################################################################### $ make install make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32.59-0.7-default/build SUBDIRS=/opt/intel/x520-t2/ixgbe-3.21.2/src modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.59-0.7-obj/x86\_64/default’ make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.59-0.7 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.59-0.7-obj/x86\_64/default/. modules ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing. Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it. … ########################################################################################### I have executed ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ and the files were created but continue saying the same ERROR. ---

Finally I was able to compile the driver. 1.- execute three comands in /usr/src/linux $ make oldconfig $ make prepare $ make scripts 2.- create symlynks in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/scripts: basic → /usr/src/linux/scripts/basic mod → /usr/src/linux/scripts/mod Thanks for the support to malcolmlewis. SOLVED.
