[Bug 456123] Re: Karmic: cannot compile acerhk-source. No rule to make target kernel/bounds.c.

Wed Oct 21 11:01:10 UTC 2009

Hi Moma.

I have resolved my problem.
I have notice that acerhk.ko was copied to /lib/modules/2.6.31.4/extra/
instead of /lib/modules/2.6.31.14-generic/extra/ where it should be.
I just copied it and all of your notes work well.
Thank you very much.
