How can I get pcf8574 back? 1 year 18 weeks ago

I have recently upgraded my server from Debian 5 (Lenny) to 6 (Squeeze), and I noticed that the new kernel 2.6.32 don't have module named pcf8574, neither pcf857x.

I need it for my application, and I don't know how to get it back.

I have no experience in building kernel modules, neither compiling whole kernel.

Linux 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP i686

Anyone know why it's not there anymore?

My guess is

Sorry about the formatting below...

Linux Microknoppix 2.6.39.3 #21 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 23 09:48:39 CEST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

modprobe iscsi_trgt

results in

FATAL: Module iscsi_trgt not found.

so did a

# apt-get install module-assistant debhelper

then

# m-a a-i iscsitarget

Fails with error

log:

iscsitarget-source.buildlog.2.6.39.3.1 contents:

dh_clean -k dh_clean: dh_clean -k

Invalid module format 3 years 19 weeks ago

Hi, I have a problem with loading the powersaving kernel module p4-clockmod.ko. When I try inserting the module (via modprobe or insmod) I get

FATAL: Error inserting p4_clockmod (/lib/modules/2.6.31.8-mediaserver/extra/p4-clockmod.ko): Invalid module format

The module has been compiled together with the kernel. Other modules load with no problem at all.

I have a server with ubuntu 12.04 and when I try to install xtables-addon with this command module-assistant auto-install xtables-addons-source I get this error

Bad luck, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could not be found and you did not specify other valid kernel headers to use. If the running kernel has been shipped with the Debian distribution, please install the package linux

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to setup iptables using mac address filtering.

For what I have read by now, the ipt_mac module is needed.

When I do

modprobe ipt_mac

only xt_mac module is beeing loaded, which as I have read is for ipv6 only.

Hi everyone

I am very new here so apologies in advance if I don't get all the forum rules right. I would really appreciate your help on the following mater. (Any sort of feedback and help is appreciated)

I am trying to get VirtualBox running on fedora 18 but I get following error message in the terminal

'WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded.

I've built a kernel with loadable module support for various reasons, one of them the possibility to compile modules and load them without rebooting. This is supposed to be useful when I need a module that I had not enabled in the kernel config.

Now, with drivers like nouveau, it's as easy as going to the source directory, and running make M=drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau.

I have crunchbang with kernel 2.6.32-5-686 and a debian netinstall with kernel 2.6.32-5-686 running on the same machine.
