Could you please : - grep 8390.o /lib/modules/2.4.32/modules.dep - post the exact list of unresolved symbols that insmod outputs - grep 2 or 3 of them in /proc/ksyms (eg: printk) - post your .config so that we can find a way to reproduce your problem. > So maybe now that you have more info, we can figure something out. By the time you do this, it would also be interesting to retry without CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. Oh, and please report your gcc and binutils versions so that we can be as close as possible to your conditions when trying to reproduce. > Thanks! > George Regards, willy - 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/
