We need the compiled .o file for suse linux kernel 2.4.18


novel zenworks tft image isnt working on PXE boot to the client machines. Need new driver for suse linux 2.4.18 kernel. A complied version,

Thanks

Most kernels should have the r8169 module. 2.4.18 is dated anyway, so just consider a kernel upgrade

ok well heres the problem, the pxe boot from zenworks is droping off. ZEN pushes a stripped down version of 2.4.18 down to the workstation via tftp. The machine loads and boots the kernel and attempts to load the drivers available in the drivers/net directory. If I had the r8169.o file I could add it to the file and it would work swell. Trouble is I can't compile the driver on any machine here because we don't have 2.4.18 running on a workstation and the stripped down version ZEN uses doesn't have the tools necessary to compile (or anything else).

Ok. Easy enough to fix.
Download kernel-2.4.18 from kernel.org, extract and locate r8169.c (should be kernel/drivers/net/r8169.c), then compile it

gcc r8169.c

As for finding it precompiled, I dunno

The last link is a Suse site where you might be able to find some more help if you can't find what you're looking for.The first link is great for finding Suse stuff.

Ok I've gotten all the files I need But I cant get the 2.4 kernel rpm to work. I also have the 2.4.18 tar ball. But when using the rmp it says I dont have a c compiler, but I do I have gcc 3.4.1 installed, but I dont know how to use it. just typing Gcc does nothing.

If anyone has any info on how to get gcc to work, would be great!
