    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

    Preparing kernel 2.6.26-MX1 for module build:
    (This is not compiling a kernel, just preparing kernel symbols)
    Storing current .config to be restored when complete
    Running Generic preparation routine
    make mrproper....
    using /boot/config-2.6.26-MX1
    make oldconfig.....
    make prepare.....

    Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.26-MX1 (i686)
    Consult the make.log in the build directory

    make: Leaving directory `/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 ?
