The problem you are seein is that symbols of the built modules do not resolve to kernel symbols. This can have several reasons. One simple one is that those modules indeed reference something that isn't there (anymore). The second one is that your build symbol tables have become confused. This may happen when patching kernel and/or modifying the kernel configuration. This can be resolved by doing (inside the toplevel kernel directory): mv .config .. make mrproper mv ../.config . make oldconfig make dep make bzImage modules modules_install This helped me several times ;) And last but not least the brute force method... unless you need those modules, simply remove them from /lib/modules/* :) > TIA > sjb CU nils > cd /lib/modules/2.4.20; \ > mkdir -p pcmcia; \ > find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} > pcmcia if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map > 2.4.20; fi depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in > /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/mtd/maps/sc520cdp.o > depmod: mtd_concat_create_R606fc87b > depmod: mtd_concat_destroy_R9c645004 > depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in > /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/wan/comx.o > depmod: proc_get_inode > -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen D1 : +49-170-2729106 -- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
