Subject: Error message during modules_install of 2.4.14

Hi developers

During "make modules_install" I got the following error message:

mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.14; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.14/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o
depmod: deactivate_page

Is this something to worry about?

Bye, Peter.

There is a problem with the loopback device in 2.4.14

looking at the changelog of 2.4.15-pre1 it seems to be fixed:
pre1:
(...)
- various: fix loop driver that thought it was part of the VM system

Your message is number 54, and I'm making number 55 on this subject...

Look in the lkml archives for the patch that will fix this "2.4.14" and
"loop" should do...

This problem is fixed in 2.4.15pre1, but don't use pre1 or 2 if you use
iptables...
