Hi there,

Thanks for that link, although I'm not sure exactly what you're pointing
me at. I discovered last night (too late for me to post to LKML) that it
was caused by a funny patch by Greg KH to mark most of the PCI symbols
as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. Once backed out it works fine. Go figure.

Cheers,
Chris

The nvidia module's problem should probably dicussed somewhere else as well
as should any out-of-kernel-tree module's probs. You won't get much
attention here ...
