Hi folks,

I've got billions of undefined symbols during 'make modules_install'.

:
cd /lib/modules/2.4.19; \
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 2.4.19; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o
depmod: register_sysctl_table_Rab92f33e
depmod: kmalloc_R93d4cfe6
depmod: __generic_copy_to_user_Rd523fdd3
depmod: __generic_copy_from_user_R116166aa
:

Is this due to gcc 2.95.4? Can anybody reproduce this? I'm
running Debian (Sid, i386).


Regards

Harri

PS: After booting 2.4.19 'depmod -a' works as expected, but
'depmod -ae -F /boot/System.map-2.4.19 2.4.19' doesn't. I
would guess its a problem with depmod.

I'd rather guess the problem is that you didn't make dep after config
changes. Read the FAQ, please.

Of course 'make dep' was in. But Debian includes modutils 2.4.15. After
upgrading to 2.4.19 the problem is gone. Debian is out of date :-(.

Maybe it would help to update Documentation/Changes to list the new
modutils, too?

Hello Marcelo , Ummmm . Haven't the tarballs usuaully been
archived as 'linux/' instead of 'linux-2.4.19/' ?

I am also finding atm driver files touched but no obvious entries
in the ChangeLog . ie: linux-2.4.19/drivers/atm/fore200e.c
touched '2002-08-02 20:39' by tar archive time stamp .

The below are the only entries in the ChangeLog file that directly
mention ATM . ??? , Tia, JimL

Absolutely not. Many systems have a symlink 'linux' to the current
kernel tree, which is a directory e.g. 'linux-2.2.16'. If the tarball
extracts into the 'linux' directory it would overwrite the (presumed
working) source. I'm sure that the use of 'linux' was an oversight.
At least I hope it was.

Kernels until recently did always unpack into linux/. Linus changed and
I'm happy Marcelo has followed suit, its much more sensible the new way

Are you sure you didn't just get bit by a binutils bug? Newer modutils
are required by newer binutils, but older binutils certainly work. Is
this Debian/unstable or Debian/stable?

Let's hope the major fix trees like -aa and -ac follow the convention. I
have no problem with the change (since I keep my stuff that way) but I
hope it is pervasive.
