Unresolved symbol do_softirq in 2.4.6-pre3

Unresolved symbol do_softirq in 2.4.6-pre3

[Anuradha Ratnaweera]

Hi all,

I started running 2.4.6-pre3 using the same configuration file as 2.4.5.
Diff shows no effective differences between two config files.

depmod complains unresolved symbols (do_softirq) in ppp_generic, ppp_async
and sunrpc.

do_softirq is listed in System.map-2.4.6-pre3.

I started with a new source tree and built the kernel with Debian kernel
package.

Any comment? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Anuradha

It works. Thanks.

I wonder how I missed the previous post of this patch.
