[EN] Error compiling 5.13 kernels with nvidia legacy 340

(1/1)

ajavibp:
Hi, I currently use the official Debian kernel because it has not compiled the siduction kernel for a long time. Now that I have a bit of free time and I have started to see what happens. The error that appears is:

--- Quote ---make NV_MODULE_SUFFIX= KERNEL_SOURCES=/lib/modules/5.13.8-1-siduction-amd64/build KERNEL_OUTPUT=/lib/modules/5.13.8-1-siduction-amd64/build KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /lib/modules/5.13.8-1-siduction-amd64/build M=/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-legacy-340xx/340.108/build ARCH=x86_64 modules
make[2]: go into '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.13.8-1-siduction-amd64'
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || (      \
echo >&2;                     \
echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";      \
echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";   \
echo >&2 ;                     \
/bin/false)
--- End quote ---
I go to /usr/src/linux-headers-5.13.8-1-siduction-amd64 directory and run 'make oldconfig && make prepare', but I get a new error that I don't know how to correct:

--- Quote ---lib/Kconfig.debug:2604: can't open file "Documentation/Kconfig"
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:77: oldconfig] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:621: oldconfig] Error 2

Do you have any idea how to solve this? I have searched the internet but I have not seen anything clear.
Thanks a lot!

1. You have not pasted the whole output! What you have pasted will always show.
2. If that is the only error, you don't have the kernel-headers installed on your system.
3. That driver will need patched for working with recent kernels.

You really should think about new graphics card, with suck old hardware you will not get lucky in soon time.

Thanks Towo.

Sorry, I thought the mistake would be enough. Here is the full compilation output: https://pastebin.com/79vTkPDp

Many patches are applied automatically on installation, but that's probably the problem. I've been searching without much luck, I'll keep looking to see if I find something.

Of course, I am aware of it, but it is a laptop that still works very well (Toshiba Satellite A660-1EQ with i7 processor and 8GB of RAM)

Thank you very much for your interest

I have only found a patch for 5.11  https://paste.debian.net/1206581/
No clue, if it is enought for 5.12/5.13 or another patch is needed.

The link leads to "Entry not found".
Sorry for the delay in answering. The forum post got spammed.
