Subject: GPL-incompatible Module Error Message
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 18:36:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4627EED5.6020800@pcburn.com> (raw)
Hello all,
Building the fglrx module against the current Linux kernel (2.6.20.7 as
of this e-mail) I'm getting an error:
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module fglrx.ko uses GPL-only symbol
'paravirt_ops'
which looks like someone (ATI?) might be doing something funny. I'm
just curious what the error means.. paravirt_ops is bit of the new
virtualization code, correct?
Anyway, I'm curious if it's interesting or "nothing to see here, move
along". I'm not looking for any kind of "fix" as the module itself not
building isn't a kernel dev issue (currently having trouble with the
Xorg Radeon drivers, but that's another story).
It just seemed like it might be interesting and I couldn't find anything
to shed light on the error itself in the mailing list logs, and I'm
curious at what's happening.
Thanks,
-- Chris
