Kernel module extension renaming
« on: November 29, 2010, 05:49:24 AM »
Hi!

When I create a new kernel module extension by copying an already existing kernel module extension (and its dep-file), the new extension won't work. The extension loads ok but the module does not. Why? My goal is to alter the deps, and copying/linking the original extension seemed like the best way.

regards

My goal is to alter the deps..

Alter the deps of what, the extension?

You could just copy the original extension.tcz.dep -> extension.tcz.dep.original and then edit extension.tcz.dep

Yes. I'm dualbooting microcore and microcore64 and both use the same TCE. This works mostly fine except that the dependencies to kernel module extensions constantly changes from ...tinycore.tcz to ...tinycore64.tcz whenever I run an update. Renaming the extensions and edit the dep-file would fix that. Is there some other way? Perhaps write protect the dep-files?
