unresolved symbols printk ?

unresolved symbols printk ?

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello!

I am having problems with loading modules:
I always get the unresolved symbols message.
I didn't find any documentation for that, can you help me ?

What I did:

compiled 2.4.4; installed modules.
depmod -ae -F /usr/src/linux/System.map 2.4.4 runs fine,
depmod -a doesn't run fine (unresolved symbols)

modprobe any_module results in unresolved modules message.

modutils are 2.4.2.

Any ideas what I did wrong ?

Sincerly,

Nico

You did read question 8.8 from the linux-kernel mailing list FAQ?

Right now, yes :)

Just a small question, what could be the reason I have a broken
Makefile ?
This seems to happen frequently, if there is a need
to name it into the lkml. I am surprised
a makefile gets screwed up ?

It is the makefile design for modversions that is broken.  The entire
makefile system is being redesigned and rewritten from scratch for
kernel 2.5.

Hmm guys, my machine
doesn't even work after I made mrproper and all the things!
It is still the same old message with unresolved symbols!
What to do now ?
