Subject: 2.4.14-pre7 Unresolved symbols

Hi,

trying to build 2.4.14-pre7 breaks with the error message
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.14-pre7/kernel/fs/romfs/romfs.o
depmod: unlock_page

during make modules_install.

2.4.14-pre6 is running fine here.

Thank for hint,

Ah, somebody resend his 2-years old messages again :-)
Well, anyway. My answer is still valid :-)))

Why are you (still) using 2.4.14-preX? Current stable version is 2.4.22
and 2.4.23-preX is under development.

Anyway, grep for "unlock_page" in all .c files, find out if the .o of it
is built and if the symbol is exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL.

BTW. Did you save the .config file and ran "make mrproper" before
building? It is very likely that after patching up in a "used" tree, the
rebuild is not going entirely correctly.

Bas.
