Unknown Synbol:__gp_disp


Hi All,

While installing the driver by insmod cmd. i am getting the above error, Unknown Synbol:__gp_disp,
I have added ``-fno-pic -mno-abicalls'' option in the make file as

$(BCM_OBJ_DIR)/%.o: %.c

@echo '$(CC) -c $(notdir $<)'

@$(CC) -fno-pic -mno-abicalls -MMD -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@



I tried by adding those symbols in the CFLAGS

CFLAGS += -fno-pic -mno-abicalls.

But it didn't help my cause.

Could anybody plz look in to the error and reply?

Thanks in advance

kaka

If you are encountering the error when doing insmod, after a completely-successful compile, then the problem is most-likely that the driver is looking for a symbol in the kernel's symbol-table and cannot find it.

It may be, for example, that this module requires certain support to be built-in to the kernel, or perhaps provided by some other module that, as it turns out, isn't there (yet).

The place to begin is at the support-site for whatever module it is...
