Hello,
I read about dkms several weeks ago and found it very interesting !!
FYI : We are using Redhat Enterprise on servers and stations.
To test it, I installed dkms RPM + dkms-fuse.
After the installation I found :
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5/extra/fuse.ko
So far so good !
After that I install the latest version of the kernel : 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
Hoping that the ko module would be build and install automatically.
But I found the module in :
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/weak-updates/fuse.ko
dkms status gave me :
fuse, 2.7.0-1.nodist.rf, 2.6.18-53.el5, i686: installed
fuse, 2.7.0-1.nodist.rf, 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5, i686: installed-weak from
2.6.18-53.el5
what does installed-weak mean ?
Is there a good how-t somewhere ? I read doc on the dell site and
several pdf linked on the site.
My goals are (for now):
- Managing the nvidia compilation using dkms on our workstations.
- Managing SAN qla module installation
Regards,
