|  | Posted: July 20 2007,13:37 |  |  OK - I'll try that. In the meantime, I loaded versions of gcc-2.95, make, etc that I had compiled earlier (as they say in the best children's programmes) on DSL and tried again:
 This worked for a while and then bailed out with:| Code Sample |  | # ln -s /opt/build/bin/gcc /opt/build/bin/gcc-2.95 # cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.34.1
 # cp .config /usr/src/linux-2.4.34.1/arch/i386/defconfig
 # make oldconfig
 # make modules
 | 
 So far I have not found anything on this with Google.| Code Sample |  | gcc-2.95 -D -I/KNOPPIX/usr/src/linux-2.4.34.1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fno-builtin-sprintf -fomit-frame-pointer  -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i386  -DMODULE  -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=ip_conntrack_core  -c -o ip_conntrack_core.o ip_conntrack_core.c make[2]: *** No rule to make target `ip_conntrack_proto_generic.c', needed by `ip_conntrack_proto_generic.o'.  Stop.
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/KNOPPIX/usr/src/linux-2.4.34.1/net/ipv4/netfilter'

 I made a couple of tests with modules that had already compiled prior to the above:
 
 1. The bluetooth modules load without errors.
 2. The drm module will not load:
 | Code Sample |  | # insmod drm Using /lib/modules/2.4.34.1/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.o
 /lib/modules/2.4.34.1/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.o: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/2.4.34.1/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.o
 | 
 Note that the graphics modules i810, i830, mga, etc are already in DSL-4 but the drm module is not - I may be mistaken, but I believe these modules will not work without the drm module?
