Thanks for the log file.

There is a bug in recent kernels (and Ubuntu) where module.lds is not added properly to the generic kernel directory.

To (temporarily) fix this, please copy module.lds.S from /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.1-051001/scripts to /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.1-051001-generic/scripts, comment out the include part and rename it to module.lds.

It may be necessary to repeat the above part for every new 5.10(+) kernel until this is fixed by the kernel (compilation) team, because I do not want to add custom files to the kernel directory from the installer.

You wrote "comment out the include part and rename it to module.lds" What include part?

clnhub commented 3 years ago

include <asm/module.lds.h>

clnhub commented 3 years ago

module_lds.sh is an automated version of the steps above.

This should work if you run this on the 5.10.* kernel (from any directory) before (re)installing the driver.

(lds) Issues have been fixed by kernel/distribution maintainers.
