:(

PLEASE help!

from cryptodev-linux.

@cokeflash You should at least be able to do "insmod cryptodev.ko" from the cryptodev build directory. That should get you going with your tests.

As for modprobe failing, this is not related to cryptodev. Are you building against the running kernel? Setting KERNEL_DIR should not be necessary unless you are building against a different kernel than you are running.

insmod: ERROR: could not load module cryptodev.ko: No such file or directory

from cryptodev-linux.

on my system (kernel)
"linux-headers-4. 10. 0-40-generic"

Sorry, I'm not a prof. ;-)

@cokeflash I'm sorry - I will be blunt. You are terse and this make it hard to debug your problem.

If you want to debug your problem you should be able to explain why you get that error from insmod.
Hint: insmod /full/path/to/cryptodev/build/directory/where/you/built/cryptodev.ko

from cryptodev-linux.

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/4.10.0-38-generic/extra/cryptodev.ko: Invalid module format

any idea?

from cryptodev-linux.

Are you playing with cross-building?

from cryptodev-linux.

hmm, now it worked:
insmod /lib/modules/4.10.0-40-generic/extra/cryptodev.ko ;)

from cryptodev-linux.

how can I add now cryptodev. ko constantly to the core?

from cryptodev-linux.

@cokeflash How am I supposed to know that?

from cryptodev-linux.

-> lsmod
cryptodev 45056 0

-> modinfo cryptodev

modinfo: ERROR: Module cryptodev not found :-(

any idea?

from cryptodev-linux.

-> dmesg

Hi,

Please enter project top directory and call 'make install' as root. This should install the module to the correct location so that both 'modinfo' and 'modprobe' work.

Cheers, Phil
