Subject: PROBLEM: setup apm as module version 2.4.34

Hello,

i hope that's the right address for this little problem, which arises
with linux kernel 2.4.34.

If i compile the Advanced Power Management as module it do not work. If
i try a depmod i get an unresolved symbols message and so it cannot be
loaded of course.

But if the APM part is compiled into the kernel directly it works.

Simply disable the compile as module option?

Thanks
Ingo

If you mention the exact unresolved symbols, people might be able to help
you better.

Yes, it's the right address.

I'm sorry, but could you be a bit more precise : config, error messages ?
Also, is this problem a regression (ie: did it work on a known previous
version, and if so, which one) ?
