Richard, Rusty,
I've been trying to use modules on alpha without much success (at
least on the latest 2.5.63-bk). Any non-trivial module fails to load
with a relocation error :
little-time:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
little-time:~# modprobe crc32
little-time:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
crc32 3456 0
little-time:~# modprobe depca
module depca: Relocation overflow vs section 17
FATAL: Error inserting depca (/lib/modules/2.5.63-mod/kernel/drivers/net/depca.ko): Invalid module format
little-time:~# modprobe 3c509
module 3c509: Relocation overflow vs section 19
FATAL: Error inserting 3c509 (/lib/modules/2.5.63-mod/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.ko): Invalid module format
little-time:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
crc32 3456 0
little-time:~#
I'm using module-init-tools from Debian sid (0.9.10-1).
Any idea ?
Thanks.
M.

IIRC there was recently a quite small patch flyin' around on LKML.
<digging...> Ah, look for "[PATCH] alpha modutils update" as a
subject:-) That was ment to fix it.
