DISCUSSION: Kernel Compilation and Avoiding ‘Unresolved Symbol’ HOWTO

This thread is to discuss the article titled: Kernel Compilation and Avoiding ‘Unresolved Symbol’ HOWTO

Why is that? I can see that there seems to be a requirement, but is that something that is in the 2.4.x series or is that a distrobution quirk?

Oh yeah, thanks for the HOWTO!

Hi,
Presrently we are using kernel 2.4.18-14.
I compiled the RH kernel 2.4.25 on 2.4.18.
All the "make" steps gone fine.But in the make modules, modules_install step it throws the message "nothing done".
When i booted the server with new kernel(2.4.25), It doesn't load many modules.Because in make module& modules_install step, it did not build the new modules.

I found this "howto" pdf in a website, It has solution. By including the some "C" code.

But i don't know in which file to include that code and where is that file.

Can anyone please Help me?

Regards,
Jayaprakash

Have you received an answer. Is the complaint 'Valid.' If the complaint is valid do you have a solution?
