In fact you dont need to have your source kernel already compiled on /usr/src/linux-RELEASE to create the module with some vendor config file. In order to get the module compiled for two version of the kernel, I instaled a vanila source kernel at /usr/src and made those steps bellow cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper cp /boot/config-generic-2.6.21.5 .config make modules_prepare cd /usr/local/src/drbd-8.2.4 make clean ; make KDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5 make install cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper cp /boot/config-generic-smp-2.6.21.5-smp .config make modules_prepare cd /usr/local/src/drbd-8.2.4 make clean all make install So we dont need even to run "make oldconfig", we just need to run the "make modules_prepare" command > In order to get yourself acquainted with the guide and its organization, > you > will probably find http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/about.html useful. > > Happy reading. > > Cheers, > Florian > Regards, Carlos Xavier.
