[ovs-discuss] Openvswitch with kernel 3.4 / 3.5

[Amogh vasekar]

Hello,

This is Amogh here, a student at Stanford University. As a part of some
networking work, I'm trying to get OVS up and running with the net-next
kernel branch (3.4 / 3.5)

I have built my kernel with OVS in "M" mode from menuconfig, and loaded it
successfully using modprobe.

Now, I'm trying to get openvswitch-controller and openvswitch-switch up and
running. I tried :

1. Using apt-install to get latest package for these
2. Using 1.4.1 branch, make and make install

In both, I can start controller successfully. However, start switch gives
me the error :

FATAL: Module openvswitch_mod not found.
 * Inserting openvswitch module
Module has probably not been built for this kernel.
Install the openvswitch-datapath-source package, then read
/usr/share/doc/openvswitch-datapath-source/README.Debian
FATAL: Module openvswitch_mod not found.
 * Inserting openvswitch module

Now, since I am using the kernel module, I assume this should refer to
"openvswitch" instead of "openvswitch_mod". I'm really not sure why this is
coming up.
There is barely any documentation on getting kernel-based OVS running (it
would be great if you can point to some)
I can really use some quick help, since this is for evaluating CoDel
algorithms using OpenFlow and Mininet.

Thanks,
Amogh
