Accidentally I was deleting Modules.Symvers after compiling KServices and mod1 and mod2 failed to load because thery where looking for the functions in a different offset than the one shown in /proc/kallsyms QUESTION: What is and how do I use that file? I was hopping to find some good documentation in tldp.org, but nothing, I only find forums that mention it, but nothing that can help me understand it and probably find a way to stop requiring it. Regards Farfan -- Do not let me induce you to satisfy my curiosity, from an expectation, that I shall gratify yours. What I may judge proper to conceal, does not concern myself alone.
