2.4.9-benh0 problems and kudos

[Robert E Brose II]

On the positive side it looks like the 7500 chaos PCI bus fixes
have been incorporated as well as the planb fixes and the
controlfb enhancements.

I've run into a couple of small problems however....

planb.c has a problem in 2074.
pb->lock = 0;

pb->lock is defined as a semaphore so this gives the following
compiler error...

planb.c: In function `init_planb':
planb.c:2074: incompatible types in assignment

Next, when pppoe, ax25 or netrom are compiled as modules, trying to
insmod them gives the following...

# /sbin/insmod pppoe
Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o
/lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol sk_run_filter
/lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol unregister_pppox_proto_Re0ff7a18
/lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol pppox_unbind_sock_Rdbcf0794
/lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol register_pppox_proto_R7c123193

The problem appears to be sk_run_filter.

Finally, though controlfb works, it doesn't work in X in 24/32 bit mode
and 1024x768 resolution. It does however work in 800x600 mode at the
same color depth and my 2.4.5 kernel patched from Michels site does work.
By not working I mean it goes into X but gives a blank screen.

Here is the dmesg for controlfb...

controlfb: VRAM Total = 4MB (2MB @ bank 1, 2MB @ bank 2)
controlfb: using video mode 16 and color mode 2.
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
fb0: control display adapter
MacOS display is /chaos/control


I'm trying to get the latest kernel working so I can do mace testing
on current code.

If you have planb, please fix this and try it out. :)

Don't use insmod.  Use modprobe.

try that one and see how it goes.

Hooray ;-)

Yep.

Just remove that line 2074. I've sent a patch off to BenH; it should
appear in his tree RSN.

Cheers

Did you mean sk_chk_filter?  The problem is that sk_{chk,run}_filter are
only exported on CONFIG_FILTER.  Congrats, you found a bug. :)  Go email
Dave S. Miller <davem@redhat.com> about this.  In the mean time, edit
net/netsyms.c, search for the symbols and remove the #ifdef CONFIG_FILTER/#endif
around them.  Re-run make dep and recompile.

Er, wait a second...  drivers/net/pppoe.c doesn't call sk_run_filter...

Thanks! I did that on a whim earlier today and the planb driver works
great now!

UMMM, I don't see myself where it's getting it from however with a
clean compile I see the following...

# nm pppoe.o | grep sk_
         U sk_alloc_R5f9fe915
         U sk_free_R6807b2c7
         U sk_run_filter

Do a grep sk_run_filter /proc/ksyms, I bet it there, w/ some bits on the end.
Try mv .config /tmp && make distclean && mv /tmp/.config . && make oldconfig
Then make vmlinux modules and try again.
