Hi All,

I am using RedHat 9.0 with Kernel 2.4.20-8 .
I wanted to load a module .But i could not compile the module .
Compiler shows the following error .
undeclared identifier boot_cpu_data_R0657d037 in vmalloc.h file lines 34, 54.

can any one throw light on why this error is coming ?

regards ,

thats the tip of the problem - we need more infor - what are you trying to load?????

Hi ,
I am trying to compile a kernel module which can access an ISA card present in the system .

My make file content is as follows ..
# standards
INCLUDE = /usr/src/linux-2.4/include
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -I$(INCLUDE) -DMODULE -Wall -O2

TARGET = iomap
SRC = iomap.c

all: $(TARGET).o

clean:
rm -f *.o *~ core



when i compile i am getting following errors ..

In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/asm/io.h : 47 from iomap.c :26 :
IN function 'vmalloc'
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/vmalloc.h:36 'boot_cpu_data_R0657d037' undeclared ( first use in this function)

IN function 'vmalloc_dma'
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/vmalloc.h:45 'boot_cpu_data_R0657d037' undeclared ( first use in this function)

IN function 'vmalloc_32'
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/vmalloc.h:54 'boot_cpu_data_R0657d037' undeclared ( first use in this function)

I wanted to know what is the reason for these errors ..

Include the following macro defined in ur module source code ..

#define EXPORT_SYMTAB

this should be the first line ur module code .
this will remove the errors which are showing in asm/io.h
