Hi Celine,
Copy /usr/src/ofa_kernel/Module.symvers to the krping directory,

Hey Vlad,
What do you think I should add to the krping makefile to avoid this
issue?
Hi Steve,
There are 2 relevant solutions described in kernel's documentation:
Use an extra Module.symvers file
When an external module is built, a Module.symvers file is
generated containing all exported symbols which are not
defined in the kernel.
To get access to symbols from module 'bar', one can copy the
Module.symvers file from the compilation of the 'bar' module
to the directory where the 'foo' module is built.
During the module build, kbuild will read the Module.symvers
file in the directory of the external module and when the
build is finished, a new Module.symvers file is created
containing the sum of all symbols defined and not part of the
kernel.
Use make variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS in the Makefile
If it is impractical to copy Module.symvers from another
module, you can assign a space separated list of files to
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS in your Makefile. These files will be
loaded by modpost during the initialization of its symbol
tables.
Note: Module.symvers is a part of kernel-ib-devel RPM in OFED
and is installed, by default, under /usr/src/ofa_kernel
See, Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt
Section: 7.3 Symbols from another external module

Vladimir
