(The MegaRaid card works fine under 2.2.13 and 2.4.3-pre8 on the same system). When attempting to 'modprobe -v pcnet32' on 2.4.3-pre8 I get the following results: homer:/home/jjmcwill# modprobe -v pcnet32 /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.3-pre8/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o /lib/modules/2.4.3-pre8/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: unresolved symbol init_etherdev /lib/modules/2.4.3-pre8/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: unresolved symbol ether_setup /lib/modules/2.4.3-pre8/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: unresolved symbol unregister_netdev /lib/modules/2.4.3-pre8/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.3-pre8/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.3-pre8/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: insmod pcnet32 failed The same thing happens with other ethernet drivers compiled as modules. Ethernet card drivers compiled into the Kernel work fine. Other modules such as lp, sg, st, vfat, modprobe without error. The kernel was built on a Debian stable (potato) distribution and installed on this box which also runs Debian stable. I've built numerous kernels like this before without incident, so I'm assuming it's a Kernel compile/configuration issue. However, Debian stable uses modutils 2.3.11, while linux/Documentation/Changes recommends modutils 2.4.2. Could this be part of the problem? Any ideas? Please cc replies to Jeff.McWilliams@acetechnologies.net if possible. I browse the Kernel archives daily but dont' subscribe to the list.
