2.6.18 unknown symbol ksize error

2.6.18 unknown symbol ksize error

[Patrick Shirkey]

Hi,

I have compiled the latest stable alsa drivers against 2.6.18 kernel with
gcc-4.1.

I am getting an error when I insert the sound card modules.

    snd_rawmidi: Unknown symbol ksize

As far as I can tell 2.6.18 has support for ksize so I am not sure where
this error is coming from.

That kernel didn't export ksize.

Try --with-debug=memory to get a separate allocator implementation.

Indeed.  The patch below (untested) forces to enable
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_MEMORY on older kernels.  Let me know if this helps.

Seems to be worse now. Compiling with gcc-4.1 because that is the latest
version of gcc we can get on this old system without having to go
wholesale LFS on it. Upgrading alsa and jack is a big step for this
machine. If this is in the too hard basket I'll compile a new kernel
instead.

Then try simple passing --with-debug=full configure option.

It's the same results with both methods.

Any other ideas or should I go ahead with compiling a new kernel?

Then something wrong in other parts.

Make sure that you recompile all after make clean, then give the whole
kernel message after loading the module.
