Arch Linux User Repository

currently fails to build on 7.0.5. wasn't able to get it to build with a simple:

    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"

for the meantime, luckily strongtz' repo includes a PKGBUILD:

git clone https://github.com/strongtz/i915-sriov-dkms.git
cd i915-sriov-dkms
makepkg -os
makepkg -ef
makepkg -ei

then it built fine for 7.0.5 :)

They're installed. I think it's because of the BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL flag in i915-sriov-dkms.

You need to install the kernel headers for dkms to build. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support#Installation

Trying to install this package seems to throw

(2/3) Install DKMS modules
==> ERROR: Missing 6.8.9-arch1-1 kernel headers for module i915-sriov-dkms/2025.01.22.
==> ERROR: Missing 6.8.9-arch1-2 kernel headers for module i915-sriov-dkms/2025.01.22.

During installation and does not install the module. Same for the -git package. I'm on linux-lts which is 6.6.72-1-lts at the moment.

dkms.conf specifies BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL="^6\.([8-9]|1[0-3])" but I get the feeling this won't build with an older kernel version.

I was able to work around this problem by rolling back to an older commit which supports 6.6.72-1-lts:

• git clone https://github.com/strongtz/i915-sriov-dkms
• cd i915-sriov-dkms
• git checkout 8716b4085464ebc779ee38b943451effa7f71e35
• sudo dkms install ./
• sudo dkms build i915-sriov-dkms/2024.09.21
