Hi mailing list. First of all I would like to tell you please to send a
copy of all answers to [email protected]. Thanks.
This is my first Linux "bug report", and I would like you to tell me if
I did anything wrong, or if you need anymore info. I hope you can use
this for anything. The reason I sent the mail to the mailing list, was
that I wasn't sure where else to send it.
[1.] I'm having problems with booting the linux-2.6-test1.
[2.] I'm not sure if I am messing with two different problems. At
compile-time I get some depmod: Unresolved symbols and later, when I try
to boot the kernel, it simply hangs at "Uncompressing Linux... Ok,
booting the kernel". As I said, I'm not sure if it is two different
problems. I will attach the depmod-errors to this email. I will
also attach my .config.
[3.] Keywords? Booting, kernel, depmod, unresolved symbols.
[4.] $ cat /proc/version

compile!

[8.] It should be said, that I get some "incomplete pointer"-warnings.
Are they important?

Because this is m, Kconfig is hiding CONFIG_VT from you.

When I read the help for CONFIG_VT, I was convinced that was it, but
when I tried to enable CONFIG_VT it still didn't work. It just sounded
so like that was it. Any other suggestions?
By the way.. I am subscribed to this list now, so no need to CC anymore,
but thanks for the reply.

Read the 'common gotchas' section of
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween.txt
It's likely one of the other options in that list.

Yes, I did. And I have also enabled CONFIG_VT.

What others?
Please email the mailing list from now on.. I am subscribed now.

Try with:
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
Okay, now, when I can boot the kernel (read some of the other posts in
this thread: I have got the booting working), I have found out that the
modules, which have unresolved symbols, can't be loaded within the
kernel. So far, so good. These unresolved symbols. Are they kernel
errors or are the errors on my side? What can *I* do to fix it, besides
messing with the kernel code? Thanks.

Errors on your side. Please install the module-init-tools package.
If you have installed that, please let us know what these errors are.

I have. The errors are simply that it says it couldn't load the module,
because it has some unresolved symbols in it. I really don't think the
errors are on my side, but I don't see what else it could be.

Yes, that was back then :-) Later, after I installed the Debian package
module-init-tools, everything worked fine. I only thought the package
was needed to *load* the modules, not create them. So, everything works
now. Thanks to everyone who answered to this thread and of course to the
Linux kernel team for creating, maintaining and developing the kernel
:-)

Check to see which console drivers and how many framebuffer drivers you
have enabled. Most peopel have been enabling everything which is wrong.
