Richard Hirst had created an older (hacked 2.4.13) version of modutils that can deal with relocation type 74. See ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/unofficial-debs/ and grab modutils-2.4.13-3.1rgh* > Compiling 64bit with the (quite old) unofficial debs worked however, > but there are some "unresolved symbols" in a few (=4) modules, > each time the symbol is "__xchg64". grundler <506>fgrep -n __xchg64 arch/parisc/kernel/parisc_ksyms.c 77:EXPORT_SYMBOL(__xchg64); Something else is wrong. you are building from CVS right? Try "make distclean" and rebuild the 64-bit vmlinux/ from scratch. > I'm quite sure that in former times > all modules worked.

I would agree. But you need to use PA11 arch for now. In general, I think the 64-bit kernel isn't too bad though. grant
