Troubleshooting

Driver does not

auto-build into new

kernel after customer

updates.

This error is a generic problem for DKMS and
applies to all DKMS-enabled driver packages.
This issue occurs when you perform the
following steps:

Install a DKMS-enabled driver package.

Run up2date or a similar tool to upgrade the
kernel into the latest version.

Reboot into the new kernel.

The driver running in the new kernel is the
native driver in the new kernel. The driver
package you installed previously in the new
kernel does not take effect in the new kernel.

Perform the following procedure to make the
driver auto-build into the new kernel:

Type:

dkms build -m <module_name> -v

<module version> -k <kernel

version>

Type:

dkms install -m <module_name> -

v <module version> -k <kernel

version>

Type the following to check whether the driver
is successfully installed in the new kernel:

DKMS

The following details appear:

<driver name>, <driver

version>, <new kernel version>:

installed
