I'll take a look, thanks! Hay Paul, I get my source from kernel.org also. But there are instructions in that document that tell you how to install from kernel.org sources "The Debian Way". Back in the day I was exclusively using Debian kernel sources. At one point I wanted a newer kernel version than was available via the Debian mirrors, so after reading in this document that it was possible, I started getting my source from kernel.org. When I upgraded to Lenny the latest kernel source I could find via apt-cache search was 2.6.26. The latest stable kernel.org kernel was 2.6.31.1 and I grabbed that. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I got 2.6.32.2 , but I kep getting errors... maybe I shouldn't be trying 2.6.32.2 ? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I guess I should have added.. one of the steps says to apt-get linux-headers: Install a set of kernel headers, matching the kernel for which the modules are going to be built: # apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.18-3-686 I tried 2.6.32.2 without success. what kernel+sources+headers should I be trying? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm not sure exactly what you've tried, but if you're building the kernel itself from source, you shouldn't be installing any header packages - they're only for when you need to build stuff against a kernel for which you don't have the source.
