Solaris emulation

Solaris emulation

[Chris Osicki]

Hi,

Please excuse my ignorance as I am new to Linux on Sparc.

I built a new kernel in order to be able to use Solaris emulation.
insmod solaris results in a long list on unresolved symbols, ie:
solaris_syscall
I checked the source and found it ifdef-ed by
 #ifdef CONFIG_SOLARIS_EMUL_MODULE
but there is no such option in my .config file, only CONFIG_SOLARIS_EMUL

Am I missing something? The search engine on redhat.com where a I was 
hoping to get some infos from couldn't find glimpse index.

It is kernel source 2.2.14, installed from kernel-source-2.2.14-5.0.rpm

Thanks for your help,
Chris

PS Please Cc: to me as I'm not yet subscribed to the list.

If you say `m' to
Solaris binary emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)
in make config (or menuconfig), then CONFIG_SOLARIS_EMUL_MODULE is defined.
The above seems like you configured Solaris emul as compiled into the
kernel, but then I don't understand how you compiled solaris.o module.

Following up my own posting hoping that it could be useful for somebody.

Some time ago I wrote:

Then I realized, I was not able to insert _any_ module.
The solution was simple, but it took me very long to find it:

    make distclean

before normal compilation.

Thanks to all who tried to help.
