Question: Modules don't install 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 2000, Apr 07
From: Robert Dalrymple raddal 

Hi:  I have been trying to get PCMCIA-CS 3.1.13 to build with
the 2.3.99-pre3 kernel (I need USB) on a Sony VAIO Z505HE.  The problem is in installing pcmcia-cs.  When I do
 `make config; make all; make install'
everything works fine, no error messages.  It's just that
there are no modules appearing in modules directory. They
never get compiled--I looked in the clients directory for example and nothing has compiled there.

I am running REDHAT 6.1.92. It came with 2.2.15 built and PCMCIA running fine, so it works fine with this machine.

I have PCMCIA = y and CARDBUS=y in the Linux configuration. On booting, dmesg reports Linux PCMCIA card services 3.1.11 and that it is adding card bus controller 0: Ricoh .... and Yenta IRQ list. So the built-in stuff seems fine.

When I install a card, say flash memory card, the log file indicates that /lib/modules/2.3.99-pre3/pcmcia/ide_cs.o is missing.

I have also tried building PCMCIA-CS 3.1.8 but I get compile errors. 

Thanks for any help.

The 2.3.* kernel stuff

If you have enabled PCMCIA support in the 2.3.* kernel, then the
PCMCIA package will not build any of the kernel modules: they are
redundant (assuming the kernel stuff works).

If the kernel stuff is not working, then you can reconfigure the
kernel with PCMCIA turned off.  Then if you rebuild the standalone
PCMCIA package, all the modules will be built.
