During my build process I pickup the following errors when making the initrd. I don't see any errors during modules_install. WARNING: /var/tmp/mkinitramfs.N19592/mnt/lib/modules/2.6.18-rc5-mm1- smp/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko needs unknown symbol register_latency_notifier WARNING: /var/tmp/mkinitramfs.N19592/mnt/lib/modules/2.6.18-rc5-mm1- smp/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko needs unknown symbol system_latency_constraint WARNING: /var/tmp/mkinitramfs.N19592/mnt/lib/modules/2.6.18-rc5-mm1- smp/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko needs unknown symbol unregister_latency_notifier WARNING: /var/tmp/mkinitramfs.N19592/mnt/lib/modules/2.6.18-rc5-mm1- smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko needs unknown symbol blk_free_tags My config build all of SCSI as modules and loads them into an initrd. As I build things into the kernel the errors go away but if I build say scsi support into the kernel all the symbols from host.c start not linking (lots and lots of unknown symbols) Maybe these are just warning from my mkinird scrips (SLES based) but I wasn't seeing these until rc5-mm1. The symbols in question seem to be exported correctly so I am not sure what the deal is. Has some linker / module script been changed or is my mkinitrd script off in la-la land?
