    Look in your directory where acerhdf is.

    See if the acerhdf.ko file exists. That is the compiled kernel module

    It so try the following, to finish the install manually.

    sudo cp acerhdf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc (and if this line works, do the following two lines.)
    sudo depmod -a
    sudo modprobe acerhdf

    After that last modprobe the fan control module should run.

    Code:
    carl@carl-laptop:~$ cd acerhdf_kmod
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ ls
acerhdf.c   acerhdf.mod.c  acerhdf.o  Module.markers  Module.symvers
acerhdf.ko  acerhdf.mod.o  Makefile   modules.order
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo cp acerhdf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
[sudo] password for carl: 
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo depmod -a
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo modprobe acerhdf
FATAL: Module acerhdf not found.
carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$

    That file was already there as i compied it using the default kernel. is that the problem

    EDIT:- tried deleting the directory and extracting/making again.
    Code:
    carl@carl-laptop:~/acerhdf_kmod$ sudo make install
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/build  SUBDIRS=/home/carl/acerhdf_kmod modules

    Re: SlCKB0Y Kernel 2.6.28 Downloads - Update with Website!

    Thanks hillsoft, it's now working for me!

    I had to create the /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc directory first as well as create the Link to folder (inode/directory) named 'build' pointing to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28sickboy-kuki

    dj,

    Glad to hear it is working now.

    c-m,

    You will want to do the following since you previously built it for another kernel. I don't think it will work if you compile it for one kernel and just try that module on a different one.

    "make clean"
    "make"
    "sudo make install"

    Now if you have errors about the build directory you will need to fix it as we talked about previously.

    If you have different errors than what dj had, post them and we can hopefully get it straightened out.

    Just make sure you have the sickboy headers installed also.

    If dj wants to send me his compiled module (the ko file) I can make a little install script and package it. Then everyone with the sickboy kernel can use that.

    Or dj is welcome to do this himself.

    Well download the file dp linked to above.

    Go to terminal and change to the directory the file you just downloaded is at.

    Try this.

    sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
    sudo cp acerhdf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
    sudo depmod -a
    sudo modprobe acerhdf

    I recommend having any other fan control off.

    The above is just a quick hack. If your sickboy kernel version is different the first two lines need to be changed.

    If that works we can incorporate it into a little script that autodetects the kernel version

    Go ahead and try it.

    Not sure if anyone else is monitoring this that needs it.

    This one is an actual kernel module. It avoids potential race conditions and is a much safer way to do fan control.

    It works.... :D

    Dont forget this... To make sure it loads at boot time add acerhdf to /etc/modules
    I hope next sickboy kernel realese this module ill be included.

    Thanks

    Did it all work as I typed it?

    If so myself or someone can wrap it up into a script.

    Try doing a

    sudo rmmod acerhdf
    sudo modprobe acerhdf

    That should restart it. I am going to mess with scripting it to come back on resume and will post something in your other thread. Will get to it a little late today.

    Does /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc exist?

    If not create it

    sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc

    then try the sudo make install again
