You use a recent version of binutils (Debian has one) 2. CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set 3. You compile a driver that doesn't properly use __devexit_p macro I fixed this in the IPS driver: http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/user=haveblue/cset@1.485.7.2 So, find and fix the driver, use hotplug, or get an older binutils. -- Dave Hansen haveblue@us.ibm.com - 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/
