Thanks for suggestion - I hadn't noticed that it had slipped out of date. I took your advice and upgraded to 2.4.27 and rebuild (from clean) the kernel and modules again. $ bash scripts/ver_linux ... Linux dd 2.4.30-rc2 #2 Sat Mar 26 11:37:17 PST 2005 i686 ... modutils 2.4.27 ... I'm still getting unresolved symbol tty_ldisc_ref and tty_ldisc_deref dd:linux# insmod usbserial Using /lib/modules/2.4.30-rc2/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.o ...: unresolved symbol tty_ldisc_ref ...: unresolved symbol tty_ldisc_deref After changing CONFIG_USB, CONFIG_USB_UHCI, and CONFIG_USB_SERIAL from modules (=m) to built-in (=y) and another clean rebuild I am able to boot cleanly and load modules that depend on usbserial I would really like to get usbserial to be a module again without getting the "unresolved symbols" for tty_ldisc_ref and tty_ldisc_deref - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
