Is there a fix available for the following, generated on a 6 GB SMP P4 Xeon
system with the Red Hat 2.4.18 kernel?
Kernel panic: Fix pte_chain allocation, you lazy bastard!
I searched the web and found copious references in the context of 2.5, but
nothing in 2.4, Red Hat or otherwise.

Have You Hugged Your Saguaro Today?
Hi,
when I want to use an external function/data in my LKM, say I want to use
cpuid from processor.h, I include processor.h in my KLM, and call cpuid.
It compiles fine, but when I try to insmod it, I get unresolved symbol
cpuid.
This happens quite often when I try to use something from outside. I've
read i386_ksyms.c doesn't export those symbols and this causes the problem
when insmod tries to link them.
I am wondering if there is a way around this unresolved symbol problem, or
if I get something wrong.
thanks...

have you filed a bug yet in RH bugzilla ?

I'm amazed anyone managed to cause that. With the rmap14 code the answer is
no. The latest rmap15 code in the RH beta should have it resolved
