Actually am using Centos-5.5 (kernel-2.6.18-194.el5) and trying to overwrite the e1000 drives with those in kernel-2.6.22. After resolving few symbols at compile time, when trying to load the kernel with this change, the e1000 probe method is failing with the error e1000: 0000:01:00.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid e1000: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5 e1000: 0000:01:00.1: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid e1000: probe of 0000:01:00.1 failed with error -5 Am trying to debug that. Any help/pointers on why this occurs and how to resolve it? --Sri On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 11:35 AM, sri <bskmohan@gmail.com> wrote:

the config had it as CONFIG_E1000=y Does =y or =m make any difference?

Hi,

As part of learning, I have added few debug statements to the code at drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c (e1000_probe function). Now to compile this, am doing make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5PAE/build M=`pwd` modules under drivers/net/e1000 dir.

That is not compiling anything. But the same thing when I do in drivers/net/e1000e, it is compiling and creating e1000e.ko file.

Check your kernel config file (which is .config) to make sure that CONFIG_E1000=m

Then you should be able to run ` make drivers/net/e1000` to build the e1000 driver as a module

...

Any help on how to get e1000.ko?
