Re: Newbie looking to try latest ACPI support...

[Gregory Gulik <greg-eIr5aKVv5JjYtjvyW6yDsg@public.gmane.org>]

I did that my starting with a clean 2.4.20 kernel, applied the 
acpi-20021205-2.4.20.diff patches, reconfigured my kernel, did the 
correct kernel build procedure.  Everything worked without apparent 
error and I do have files in the acpi driver directory:

[root@toshiba1115 pcmcia-cs-3.2.3]# ls 
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/acpi/
ac.o  battery.o  button.o  fan.o  processor.o  thermal.o  toshiba_acpi.o


While updating my PCMCIA driver I saw the following errors:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.2.3/etc/cis'
-> Updating client scripts in /etc/pcmcia
-> Running depmod...
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.2.3/etc'
[root@toshiba1115 pcmcia-cs-3.2.3]#

Is this anything to worry about??
