Modprobe, Loading module problem
 

FC7 i386
I'am getting a error message when I do a
a /sbin/modprobe/ pctel

dmesg error message;

pctel: Unknown symbol pci_module_init

What does that error message mean ??

"pctel: Unknown symbol pci_module_init
What does that error message mean ??"

Using symbol pci_module_init has been deprecated since at least 2004. Your latest kernel may no longer support pci_module_init. You may need to gt a later version of your pctel driver.

I had the same problem after upgrading from 2.6.21 to 2.6.22.4 kernel
 

If you have the driver source find where in code pci_module_init is called and replace it with pci_register_driver without changing the parameters (things in brackets). Recompile+reinstall the driver and then try to modprobe it.

Have fun! :)
