right. so I have decided to kill two birds with one stone then.
Grabbed a more compliant toolchain: from
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=11 link to external was still good.
Should be more compliant.
Second I will give it a once through and see what goes down - then do a rebuild with the software in. : ) Thanks all again for your excellent advice.
For some reason BR wont swallow the patch directly - so ill advise to apply it manually for now until I figure out what its deal is.
also hosting the .tar.gz locally works fine - just tried that, so that's a bit more sensible.
more when I have it. I have stuck these modules in the conf now (conf attached) and built with new TC. more on this below
[root@kindle aalib-1.4.0]# insmod /mnt/us/modules/cifs.ko
insmod: error inserting '/mnt/us/modules/cifs.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
[root@kindle aalib-1.4.0]# insmod /mnt/us/modules/smbfs.ko
insmod: error inserting '/mnt/us/modules/smbfs.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
[root@kindle aalib-1.4.0]#
So I obviously do not have the toochain doing the business yet. Sad
Ah well when I do here will be the list is produces:
Modules built
stracing insmod fail
