Dave, 1. When you upgraded to 2.4.9-37, _was_ the lcs support compiled in, or as a module? One way to tell is to do an lsmod and see if the use count of lcs.o is non-zero. If you can rmmod it, and it goes away, the support is in the kernel. If that is the case, that's the reason for the unresolved symbols for that module. If support for any function is compiled into the kernel (not just lcs), then when depmod is run, you'll get unresolved symbol errors. All you need to do is delete the module out of the /lib/modules tree to eliminate that error.
2. Do a "depmod -ae" command. This will actually list out the symbols that are not being found. Do they have "versioning information" at the end of them? I.e., things that look like "_Rsmp_b8fd00fe". Take one symbol name (I just grabbed this one at random), e.g., debug_exception_common_Rsmp_b8fd00fe, and do a grep debug_exception_common /proc/ksyms and see if it shows up or not, and whether the kernel symbol has the versioning turned on or not. Most frequently, this happens when there is: 1. A kernel built with versioning and the modules not 2. The opposite case of #1 3. A module built for a different version of the kernel 4. A module built for an SMP kernel and the kernel not built for SMP 5. The opposite case of #4 Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Dave Myers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 5:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Successfully installed kernel 2.4.9-37 and LCS worked ok...BUT I get depmod errs I successfully upgraded to kernel 2.4.9-37 today, ran the zipl, then rebooted. Wow...I actually have a system with lcs working!!! But...why do I get these errors and how do I eliminate them from the log?? I'm assuming that the lcs is now part of the 2.4.9-37 kernel? and that's why it is working despite these msgs?? I don't use qdio or qeth.... denmaint depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.9-37tape/kernel/net/lcs.o14:54:59 denmaint depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.9-37tape/kernel/net/qdio.o denmaint rc.sysinit: Finding module dependencies: failed denmaint depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.9-37tape/kernel/net/qeth.o TIA Dave
