Hi,

I have downloaded the debian rootfs and the kernel, got it running, so far so good.

However at boot i get errors from modprobe, it cant find the modules for the current kernel version (2.6.30.4) in /lib/modules/

the only modules in there is the  2.6.26-1-versatile modules.

same goes with trying to modprobe them manually, i get this error:
root$modprobe ftdi_sio
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.30.4/modules.dep: No such file or directory



i have read all your pdf files (sadly most of them is out of date) with no luck.
I read all posts related to GadgetPC and from what i understand people semn to actually get the right modules version compiled from the Virtual Ubuntu box.

what shuld i do to get this working? i need to get a running debian install and get gcc running on it, or rather a good guide on the crosscompiling for the gadget pc.


Side note about the dokument regarding debian install, it tells me to start the vm but vmware player doesnt allow a duplicate of the hdd:s with the same UUID so the only way to boot the virtual ubuntu box is to remove the IDE hdd.

vitaliy:
You can find all modules under
/lib/modules/drivers
As the 1st step you have to install the necessary module
For example,
install -c -m 0644 /lib/modules/drivers/ftdi_sio.ko /lib/modules/2.6.30.4/ftdi_sio.ko

Then you can execute
depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ftdi_sio

Also,  the latest releases provide
/etc/init.d/bipom_installer.sh
It starts / checks automatically at power on
to see if all modules are installed properly

It seems you don\'t use the latest Debian rootfs from Bipom
if you face such problems with modules

On the Debian rootfs or the virtual ubuntu box?
There is no such directory "/lib/modules/drivers" on the rootfs i downloaded here: http://www.bipom.com/web_softwares/2899678.html

nether does this dir exist: /lib/modules/2.6.30.4/

but i think your right, the overall feeling is that i got a faulty rootfs.


is there a mirror for these files? or could somone send them to me?

allso, i cant mount the secund hdd from the virtual ubuntu to copy the rootfs, so im realy stuck with the fs on the site.

You can download
http://www.bipom.com/files/gadgetpc/linux2.6.30.4.tar.bz2
from
http://www.bipom.com/web_softwares/2899678.html

It provides Linux kernel and all modules

isbric:
i am using that, my FAT partition curently holds the uimage and the drivers folder.

but how do i use the modules in there? do i need to copy them somwhere?

[EDIT] Found that i could copy them to /lib/modules/2.6.30.4/

However i stil need some info on crosscompiling of driver modules like this one http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/EDUP_EP-N8508
