I'm getting this under -pre8 and -rc1. Not sure about earlier, I only started enabling this at -pre8. Maybe since -pre6? # depmod -ae depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o depmod: sis_free depmod: sis_malloc My .config is at http://web.irridia.com/info/linux/config". I'm taking a look at the VM tweak ASAP.
