modprobe unresolved symbol
I think this is an easy one but please bear with me here... :newbie:
I'm trying to install the ALSA sound drivers. Everything seemed to install correctly after the configure/make/make install, but when I try to modprobe the module for my sound device, I see the following: /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol __pollwait_R39189358 /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol remove_proc_entry_Rbdb9859c /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol register_sound_special_Rcb712755 /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol add_wait_queue_R6a3b22a4 /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol proc_symlink_R585ba7c1 /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol fasync_helper_R12772f3c /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol register_chrdev_R3ed6ffcc /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol proc_root_R50946273 /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol remove_wait_queue_R4b8f71ce /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol schedule_work /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol kill_fasync_R43f1e6f2 /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol create_proc_entry_R2a959760 /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.20-19.9/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod snd failed The audio device is an on-board CM8738.

Did anything in the installing instructions mention that you need kernel-sources installed and that you need a symbolic link for /usr/src/linux?
# Compiling/installing kernel modules You will need to have installed: 1. The developmental packages (compiler) 2. The kernel source code that matches your running kernel 3. The module source or install code Check out your system and look under the hood and see if you installed the stuff you need to do the job. Open an x terminal and type in this sequence of commands to see what kernel we are running and see if you have the kernel source installed: Code:
[fancy@tinwhistle fancy]$ su -Code:
[root@tinwhistle root]# cd /usr/srcIf you don't see something similiar to this (but in color), you will need to install the kernel source. NOTE: I noticed that Red Hat didn't make the symbolic link /usr/src/linux that all of the INSTALL files that I have read mentioned that I need, so I may as well make one now to save editing the files in the source code to install.So, I'll make it just now: Code:
[root@tinwhistle src]# ln -s linux-2.4.18-3 linux Next, did I install the compiler? Code:
[root@tinwhistle src]# gcc -v If you don't have those two things installed, you have to install them first off your install CD. If they are installed, download the source and happy comiling. :tisk: Make sure you carefully read the README and INSTALL files after extracting and before compiling/installing. :study: # Red Hat links Red Hat Linux Manuals Get your mp3 support here Maximum RPM rpmfind Easier software management: apt4rpm - Red Carpet Red Hat 8.0 Tips & Tricks # Red Hat 7.3 down configuration commands setup leads to several configuration tools # Red Hat 7.3 up configuration commands Configure soundcard: redhat-config-soundcard Configure X server: redhat-config-xfree86 Configure network: redhat-config-network Manage software: redhat-config-packages # Handling NTFS New Technology FileSystem (NTFS) HOWTOs Linux NTFS project |
Though none of your suggestions directly helped me, I solved the problem.:)
I did indeed have the kernel-source-2.4.20-19.9 rpm package installed, something was apparently awry with it. I rpm -e'd it and reinstalled it. Then I reinstalled the ALSA drivers, this time with no errors when it does a depmod during the make install. Don't know what the problem was but it's fixed. So far, everything seems to be working correctly, with one small problem: GNOME user interface events don't seem to be playing. Maybe a reboot will fix this. Thanks! |
Yup, a reboot fixed that, too!
