  • 1.  Manually Compile AutoProtect Kernel

    Posted Nov 12, 2018 05:09 PM

    Hello,

    I have installed SEP 14.2.770.0000 x64 on a new Dell Optiplex 3060 LinuxMint x64 (kernel 4.15.0-38-generic).  The GUI installs but Auto-Protect is "Malfunctioning".  I have gone through TECH132773 to manually compile the AP kernel after installing all suggested libraries, etc., and always get "Build failed".  It seems to start to go wrong at this compile line:

    /home/immunologysupport/Downloads/sepfiles/src/ap-kernelmodule-14.2.770-0000/symev/symev.c:162:3: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Wdeclaration-after-statement]
       pte_t *pte = lookup_address(_addr, &level);


    In anycase, in INFO3983 it lists the latest supported Ubuntu kernal as 4.13.0-41-generic (Added for 14.2 MP1), but lots of the Sym articles state that this list is not a complete list.  I'd like to know if 4.15.0-38 is just too new for SEP 14.2.770-0000 or if there is something else to try other than what is listed in TECH32773? (See log txt file attached)

    Tnx

    Note: This list should not be considered complete and exclusive. Unless specified otherwise, kernel versions apply to both 32- and 64-bit kernels. Linux operating systems and kernels that do not appear on this list may successfully install and enable the Auto-Protect kernel module.

     

    The note also says that kernals not appearing on the list may or may not install the auto-protect kernal properly. You may have to wait for a fully supported release version,

    Thanks for the response and copying that information that I read from the INFO3983 article I referenced when I posed the question.  I should have stated part of my question more specifically.  Has anyone else in the forum sucessfully installed on newer than the 4.13.0-41-generic for LinuxMint with SEP 14.2.770-0000, and has anyone else run into the compiler error "warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code" when doing the manual autoprotect kernal compiler run?

    Tnx

    Remembered to revisit this post.  I stepped back to a previous kernel and it loaded, etc.

    tnx.
