Hi all!



Does any one know where I can get a compiled driver (sk98lin.o) for the
Linux Kernel 2.4.31 (ZFD 4 IR7) for the Marvell Yukon 88E8055 NIC ?



From the Marvell site I could download the Yukon Linux Driver Install
Package for Linux Kernel 2.4.20 & higher but I'm unable to compile it.



Thanks,

Horst

forge is a good bet... otherwise General Info

zfd 4

Ok, so I have gotten my boot disk to work following the process below,
which is kind of a sampling of other peoples stuff out there, which I hope
to give credit for when I'm all done here.....
I have not tested the PXE boot, only the bootcd.iso

Download the 2.4.22 Linux Kernel
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2

unpack the Source
tar xvfj linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2

enter the directory created
cd linux-2.4.22

Download the 2.4.22-ac4 patch.
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-
2.4/2.4.22/patch-2.4.22-ac4.bz2

Uncompress the patch
bunzip2 patch-2.4.22-ac4.bz2

Download the Novell ZENworks Kernel Patch
wget http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/zenworks/assets/zfdimgkrnlpatch-
2.4.18-4.0-p1.tgz

Unpack the file
tar xvfz zfdimgkrnlpatch-2.4.18-4.0-p1.tgz

Change the Kernel version
sed 's/2.4.18/2.4.22/' <zenpatch-2.4.18-4.0-p1.patch > zenpatch-
2.4.22.patch

Apply the Patches
patch -p0 < zenpatch-2.4.22.patch
patch -p1 < patch-2.4.22-ac4

Configure the Kernel
make menuconfig

I went in and did the following
Processor Type and Features ->
No to Math Emulation
SCSI Support ->
SCSI low-level drivers->
Yes to SATA Support
USB Support ->
---USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
Yes to USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
Yes to HID input Layer Support (NEW)

Exit and Save the configuration

Run the following
make clean ***Note Novell Recommends this***
make dep
make bzImage ***Note Case does matter on the I***
make modules
make modules_install

Get the ZENDist package
wget http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/zenworks/assets/zendist-4.0-p1.tgz
tar zxvf zendist-4.0-p1.tgz
cd /usr/src/build
../buildImages.s

Copy the 2.4.22 kernel and modules over to our build area....
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/boot/bzImage bootdisk/firstdisk/kernel
cp -r /lib/modules/2.4.22-ac4 bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules

Remove old stuff
rm -rf bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules/2.4.18

../buildImages.s

Copy the BroadCom Driver from the Forge site into
the /build/bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules/2.4.22-ac4/kernel/drivers/net
directory and then redo the
../buildImages.s
This will add-in the BroadCom drivers for the GX280 computer.


***NOTE*** I had to run the GX280 SATA drive in Compatability mode in the
BIOS, otherwise the drive did not show under the img dump ******
I should also note here that the hdparm command does nto work with this.
Imaging my Windows XP image took about 6 minutes though.

I also did the 2.4.22 kernel because there is a compiled BroadCom driver
on the Forge site.


And from Roy Erez...

So... SATA isn't supported by this trick on the Gx280 machines.
The only way I could get SATA to work in "normal" (not "compatibility")
mode in these machines was using the 2.4.28 kernel.
As of kernel 2.4.27 SATA is merged into the kernel source tree so you
don't need Alan Cox's patch to enable SATA.
This only patches I applied to my kernel were the zen patch and a
broadcom 57xx patch (had to change the version string in this one).
Although ICH6 isn't yet fully supported it does work in a "Looks like
ICH5" mode and I'm able to successfully take and put an image in "normal
" sata mode.
As to USB keyboard support - after trying several combinations I think
it's better to compile HID support using HIDBP rather than the full HID
layer - the only HID feature needed in the imaging environment is
keyboard support and HIDBP handles it well enough.

We are not able to compile correclty the Marvell Yukon 88E8055 NIC Driver
for the Linux Kernel 2.4.31 (ZFD 4 IR7). We have also involved a 'linux
expert' but it still doesn't work. What else can we do now?

Horst

except opining and incident and proably here that you need to upgrade?

Hopeing that somebody else answers in this thread, checking forge if there
is no driver there, upgrading to zdm 7

Why? What certainty do I have that it will work with zdm 7?

none, xcept that this product is supported and new kernels and drivers are
released with every hotpatch.

I would try out the latest hotpatch cd first so before you do an upgrade.

Otherwise you can only hope that somebody else has the driver.

btw: when you take a look into the 6.x and 7.x forums you will see that
there is an issue with this nic.
