* Under certain conditions with DKMS versions prior to version 2.0.9, device driver building may fail. This may prevent
Server Administrator from installing. You may see the following error message:
"Building module:
cleaning build area....(bad exit status: 2)
make KERNELRELEASE=2.6.5-7.232-smp -C src KSP=/lib/modules/
2.6.5-7.232-smp/build MANDIR=%{_mandir}....(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel:
2.6.5-7.232-smp (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/e1000/6.2.11/build/ for more information."
To resolve the device driver build problems:
1. Update the DKMS version to 2.0.9 or later.
2. Uninstall the kernel source on your system.
3. Reinstall the kernel source on your system.
4. Build and install the device driver that was failing to build.
5. If Server Administrator has failed to install, either install Server Administrator using the following script, "./srvadmin-
install.sh"
OR
install the appropriate Server Administrator RPMs. (31564) (31829) (42077)
* After uninstalling, some of the files and folders may remain in the installation directory. This occurs when you upgrade the
Server Administrator from versions 6.1 or earlier. For security reasons, delete the directories and files under the Server
Administrator installation directory. (348525) (335978)
