I upgraded from Mandrake 8.0 to 8.2, which might explain some problems I've been having (since I didn't do a clean install). First of all, I recently got a NIC that is supposed to be able to run under Linux. It can use the 8139too module or the rtl8139 module which I downloaded and compiled (after some hassles with the version.h include file). However, neither of these modules will load with insmod because of unresolved symbol errors.
I also have onboard sound, which works under the OSS drivers but not very well, so I wanted to install the ALSA driver for it (snd-card-via686a). Even though I used the ALSA drivers source provided with Mandrake 8.2, I get unresolved symbol errors on that as well. >From google groups searches and some advice from a friend, I thought turning off version checking in the kernel and recompiling would fix this. However, I get errors during make modules! I don't understand why I get errors compiling the source code that Mandrake provided. Any thoughts? Lisa Evans
