Any distro based on 2.6.26 TI 9.5 Echo Server Linux fails to install

Hello,

Today I have tried to install TrueImage 9.5 Echo Server Linux software on the latest kernel 2.6.26, but it is failing during the compilation of snapapi26 module.

In order to pass the compilation process without the well known errors I've applied all of the previous hacks to the snapapi26 0.7.29 module as stays at:

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=204638 (helpful for 2.6.24)
and
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=210610 (helpful for 2.6.25)

Now it is the time to patch the source to make it work with the vanilla 2.6.26, here is some output:


dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.29 -k 2.6.26-MX1 --config /boot/config-2.6.26-MX1 --arch i686 --kernelsourcedir /usr/src/linux-2.6.26

I managed to dig around the "NOPAGE_SIGBUS undeclared" issue with 2.6.26, nothing but some patch for firegl driver which suffered from similar compialtion problem at: http://dev.archlinux.org/~travis/firegl_public.patch

Any hints ?

 

Hi again,

I have just tried the snapapi26-0.7.35 version but the error persists...
