Broken Kernel, missing .ko data, make not possible
Posted: 2013/01/25 09:33:54
Hello,
i need help.
You need to now: I have CentOs 6.2
1. i have no network connection because .ko file is missing in kernel file system
2. i can't use USB sticks because Linux cant detect vfat or ext2-ext4
Why is that?
I tried to istall the ath9k driver to get WLAN to work. I found a couple of How To's and forum topics and followd them.
Using make in /usr/src/kernels/2.../ did not work...
I got the following output:
[quote]
...
make[1]: *** Keine Regel, um >>missing-syscalls<< zu erstellen. Schluss.
[/quote]
Means: No Rule, to make missing-syscalls. End.
So i tried to install the Kernel anew. Did not work it always said Kernel is already installed. So i thought about taking a new installation file but then i noticed i cant use USB, so i tried FTP over a Lan-Connection, and i found eth0 not usable ... i cant start it
So i tried formatting the usb key to the ext2 filesystem... Linux coudlnt detect that eather.
I want to solve it without reinstalling CentOS because i have some Data that i really need.
Does anyone have an idea how i can eather
- get USB working
- get eth0 working or
- get the kernel installed without usb, eth0 :-?
I appreciate your help.

EDIT: Cant i just remove the installed kernel and install it new? Or would that kinda break everything?
