Hello all,I am trying to compile a module for a Syba 4 Port PCI Sata controller card in Wary Watcher/Wary 5.1.1 (a distro by CatDude) kernel uname-r 2.6.32.28 .When I use gcc on either of these two files “siimage.c” or “siimage.h”(attached) I get notice it can’t find #include /linux/ config.h or #include /linux/delay.h Sure
enough ,when I go to /usr/include/linux/ I can’t find them either.There may be
others ? but remembering I must answer all complaints as gcc submits them,I’m stuck .Can someone advise me a way forward ? Thanks

You need kernel-headers installed to compile out-of-tree kernel modules.

Which P.O. box? For puppy you won't find a package with the kernel sources. Instead, they are in some sfs file. Perhaps searching the forum for kernel-source sfs will help -or hopefully someone will chime in with the proper file name.

I think kernel_src-2.6.32.28-patched.sfs this might be the one you need.
