[E1000-devel] Ubuntu Kernel Version on AWS EC2

[Mike H. <Mik...@ra...>]

Ubuntu 16.04 uses a kernel version of 1022 as of this email:



/usr/src/ixgbevf-4.1.2# dkms add -m ixgbevf -v 4.1.2

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/ixgbevf/4.1.2/source ->
                 /usr/src/ixgbevf-4.1.2

DKMS: add completed.
root@ip-10-50-38-224:/usr/src/ixgbevf-4.1.2# dkms build -m ixgbevf -v 4.1.2

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

I fixed it as follows:


 807 #if UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI >2048
 808 #error UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI is too large...
 809 #endif /* UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI > 255 */

Any ideas on how to best address this?  It built after this but it's not terribly convincing.
