Cannot install kmod-mii package

  • Lnx Prof

    Whenever you get this message it means that the kernel that you're running and the kmod packages in the repository are out of sync.

    My recommendation would be:

    • Upgrade your firmware. The most-recent version appears to be b237 as of 2020-04-07.
    • On reboot, enable the target repository, which would be kmod-mii_4.14.171-1_mipsel_24kc.ipk as of 2020-04-07.

    Then attempt to install the kernel module again.

    @Lnx-Prof I think you did not try your recommendation.

    @György-Farkas

    If you're attempting to install 4.14.81-1, you don't have the most recent firmware/sources.

    You've also moved to gpio?

    Following my process, I am able to install every kmod in the current target repository.

    @Lnx-Prof 4.14.81 is the kernel version of my official (out of the box) v0.3.2 b237 firmware.
    Do you say that a kmod-spi-gpio-custom (4.14.171-1) kernel (= 4.14.171 ...) module is OK for this kernel?

  • Lnx Prof

    I'm sorry that you're having issues with loading the kernel modules. It's a commonly-hit wall.

    If you're using 4.14.81, you'll need kmod-spi-bitbang, kmod-spi-gpio and kmod-spi-gpio-custom.

    Do you say hereupon each spi related stuff is installed correctly and fully usable - independently of the snapshot's kernel mismatch?

    @Jeremy-Shubert Unfortunately I can not reproduce your previous solution.
    You wrote in OpenWRT opkg Packages error on 30 Aug 2019, 00:59

    i downloaded an older firmware to my Omega...0.3.2 b230 and this was resolved. The build number of the kernel in this firmware matches what was available

    Is/was the 0.3.2 b230 version number correct?

    We looked into this. The kernel mismatches were due to how our continuous deployment build system used to work.

    It's now been fixed! If you're on the latest release you'll be able to install all kernel modules

    Tested on my end and everything worked fine:

    Like the kernel itself, modules can take parameters that customize their behavior, though the default parameters work well in most cases. User-space tools can list the modules currently loaded into a running kernel; query all available modules for available parameters and module-specific information.

    Curious. I run v0.3.3 b250 on Omega2Spro yet I'm unable to install a few packages; firstly, when only Onion package repo is in use; secondly, when the OpenWRT larger repo is uncommented in /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

    I'm unable to install kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim and few others because of the error below.

    @TypeSeven It's always better to start a new thread instead of a necroposting.

    kmod-usb-serial-option is part of a standard Omega firmware, I checked the latest 0.3.2 b232.

    If you have the build system installed you can build kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim and then load the package, the version you are download from OpenWrt repos has been built with a kernel version dependency.
