may anyone help

ok, after all the problem was my kernel, i was running a kernel with debug options, i just finished building the new kernel with no debug and everithing is working fine.

OK, I had some initial issues with 5.1 kernels (building but not booting). I'm still on 5.0.21 here for now because of this. I guess I'll give the 5.2 kernels a try soon.

[wesleysidney]

i am able to compile only with make -i command, the install dont work, so i compile with make -i and manualy put the thing on the folder, cant use the dkms becouse i dont know how to ignore errors there...

Any news on the >= 5.1 problems? I tried also newer kernels now, before moving to the next Ubuntu version.

Have the same issues as you have: Builds, but doesn't load.

[thopiekar]

The module works fine again with 5.3.x which is going to be used in Ubuntu Eoan. https://github.com/thopiekar/rcraid-dkms/commit/719f12bb16ec74b6843489b62453031e10fec405

[Herrie82]

Well this fixes the 5.3 issue. But shouldn't we try to solve 5.1/5.2 too?

[thopiekar]

To be honest, I'm not interested in these kernel versions. I'm on the latest development version of Ubuntu and 5.3 will be used for this release. If someone else needs these kernel versions running (for whatever reason), she/he can look for a solution. Additionally, it should be not a big deal to upgrade the kernel. On Ubuntu, you can take more recent vanilla kernels, too. Should not be different on other distros.
