Altiris 7.5 Linux PXE Kernel drivers 

Nov 20, 2014 03:25 AM

This is only a short guide to help you get started in compiling your own drivers or use my pre-compiled, the guide is written for some one who have prior linux and kernel compiling experience.

Required software:
A system that runs rhel server 6.4 i386 can be a vm on your local workstation.
Kernel sources and headers 2.6.32-358.el6 
gcc-4.3 the GNU C Compiler
make the tool that runs the compile script
wget a tool to download files from http servers
bzip2 a compression tool
build-essentials tools and libraries used to compile

Get the kernel config from you altiris server it's path should be something like c:\Program Files\Altiris\Notification Server\NSCap\bin\Deployment\BDC\bootwiz\Platforms\Linux\x86\Build\config.x86
copy the config.x86 file to your kernel source directory (mine is /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32-358.el6)and rename it to .config and "make oldconfig" to solve any configuration problems.

Change the config to enable compiling of a driver eater by editing the .config file and run "make oldconfig" or "make menuconfig" and select the missing driver.
Then "make modules" to compile the modules, then you will find your modules in /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32-358.el6/drivers.

I have compiled quite a few drivers that I have included in the attached zip file, most of them are not tested and only compiled 
for future use so I will not give any support for them but the one you need is included and it works you have saved some time.
