problem building kernel modules for 6.10.3
Hi all, I am facing a problem as I'm trying to build wireguard as a kernel module for my ReadyNAS 102, on a 6.10.3 firmware. I searched the forum a bit and found a related issue here : https://c...
Thanks for your answer.
My RN102 is based on a Marvel armada 370 CPU, so I thought I didn't need the alpine kernel source tree. A few alpine kernel modules indeed lie on the file system of my NAS (in /lib/modules/4.4.190.alpine.1/) but they seem unused and cannot be loaded on my system :
# insmod /lib/modules/4.4.190.alpine.1/kernel/kernel/configs.ko insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/4.4.190.alpine.1/kernel/kernel/configs.ko: Invalid module format
Are you sure these sources are needed to build a working module for RN102? Or do you mean we are missing a few patches originally coming from the alpine source tree that were backported to the arm kernel for the official NTGR firmware release but not present in the provided sources?
Sorry, I was a bit unclear there. The patches from NTGR also include stuff targeted at Marvell 370 and 380 chipsets. Looks like they changed their build pipeline in such a way that only the x86 code (which I suspect is the main focus anyway) comes out correct whereas ARM and Alpine are broken.

Here's a diff someone else did on the 4.4.111 kernel sources -> https://gist.github.com/donbowman/2630241daadd43122163a7fae57e10b3
From a brief glance I'd say, yes, you're likely to need them to build a working kernel for the RN1xx series too.
