2.4.0-test11 + reiserfs + iptables

2.4.0-test11 + reiserfs + iptables

[David D.W. Downey]

Hi guys,
    Not sure if this is the right list for this, but I'll spew this forward
too you. Redirects to right place is definitiely welcome. Since I added the
reiserfs kernel patch , I figured I'd mention it.

Problem:

When building the kernel things buld fine with no errors other than the
standard warnings generated by -Wall. Running the make dep bzImage modules
modules_install command completes. Nothing big there, but when i reboot to
the new kernel and the system runs depmod -a `uname -r` I keep getting
unresolved symbols for the ipt_REDIRECT module in the kernel's iptables
support.

I'm using the latest Red Hat **6.2** gcc and glibc, not the 7.0's.

>From what I understand in asking around, there is a symbol in the module
itself that's not being exported to depmod. (?)

1) Is there a way to find out exactly WHAT symbol is not being kicked out?
2) If so is there a way to force that symbol to be exported for depmod's
use?

The reason I ask this here is since it's a kernel level module, I associate
that as a kernel issue.

Thanks gentleman


David

depmod -ae will list the missing symbols.  Since make modules_install
did not pick up the problem, the symbol is exported but you have a
symbol version mismatch.  The current Makefiles have problems with
versions, to clean up do

  mv .config ..
  make mrproper
  mv ../.config .
  make oldconfig dep clean bzImage modules
  make modules_installs
  Install kernel and reboot
