Hi,

Trying to compile 2.5.61 on an Athlon. (with K7 optimisations)

make && make modules_install appear to work fine, but the last thing I see
before being dumped back to the prompt is this:

WARNING: /lib/modules/2.5.61/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax.ko needs unknown
symbol kstat__per_cpu


FIrst question - has anyone had this card working in 2.5.x ?
Second, is this a known problem or am I doing something daft?


I've grepped the kernel tree and the only references I can find are:

[root@rebecca linux-2.5.61]# grep -R kstat__per_cpu *
Binary file arch/i386/kernel/irq.o matches
Binary file arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o matches
arch/m68knommu/platform/5307/entry.S: leal kstat__per_cpu+STAT_IRQ,%a0
arch/m68knommu/platform/5307/entry.S: leal kstat__per_cpu+STAT_IRQ,%a0

Binary file fs/built-in.o matches
Binary file kernel/sched.o matches
Binary file kernel/built-in.o matches
System.map:c03b2c40 D kstat__per_cpu
Binary file vmlinux matches


I have modutils-2.4.21-14 and module-init-tools-0.9.9 (both from rusty on
kernel.org)

Under 2.4.20, the card is reported by lspci -v as:

00:0d.0 Network controller: Elsa AG QuickStep 1000 (rev 02)
Subsystem: Elsa AG QuickStep 1000
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at eb001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
I/O ports at e400 [size=128]
I/O ports at e800 [size=4]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]


Thanks,

Mark.

It's a known problem and on my list to fix. Unfortunately, fixing it
properly isn't entirely trivial.

Good to know it's not me (for once :)

If you want an extra tester for any fixes, give me a shout.


Cheers,
