Subject: RE: Unresolved (module) symbols at boot time

When you make the modules and install them they are copied to
/lib/modules/kernelnumber.
The 'make modules_install' doesent delete the old modules and thats why
there are some unresolved modules.
Because old modules are there.
Here is what i did:
First make the kernel
make modules
move the /lib/modules/kernelnumber folder to somewhere safe
make modules_install
copy 'System.map' from the source folder to /bin/System.map-kernelnumber
point the link '/bin/System.map to the new System.make-kernelnumber file
Do not remove the modules for the original kernel (in CS 1.2.1 thats kernel
2.2.15) as it seems that it uses those for some bootup process
Good luck
Isak

Subject: Unresolved (module) symbols at boot time
I built a new kernel (details below), and when I boot it, I get a bunch of
messages like this (from /var/log/messages):
>depmod: depmod:
>depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.17-0.6.1/net/8390.o
>depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
>/lib/modules/2.2.17-0.6.1/ipv6/ipv6.o
...
>depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
>/lib/modules/2.2.17-0.6.1/pcmcia/x...
What can I do to resolve the symbols? The full list of files involved
(written this way to avoid line wrapping):
/lib/modules/2.2.17-0.6.1:
/net/8390.o
/ipv6/ipv6.o
/misc/ip_gre.o, ip_masq_autofw.o, ip_masq_mfw.o , ip_masq_portfw.o, ipip.o
/pcmcia/3c574_cs.o, 3c575_cb.o, 3c589_cs.o, epic_cb.o, fmvj18x_cs.o ,
ftl_cs.o
/pcmcia/memory_cs.o, netwave_cs.o, nmclan_cs.o, pcnet_cs.o, smc91c92_cs.o
/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o, wavelan_cs.o, xirc2ps_cs.o
The details:
Platform is a 1999 Powerbook (Wall Street), dual booting MacOS8.6 and
Linux. (I had LinuxPPC 2000 on it, but couldn't get IPv6 to work.)
The new kernel was built cheifly to add IPv6, I did add a bunch of other
networking features. I don't recall adding any pcmcia support. The kernel
boots, IPv6 seems to work inspite of the messages.
I updated the vmlinux and system.map in / and the vmlinux is in the right
MacOS folder.
