Kernel Does Not Load Module - "Unresolved symbols" Error Messages
When you boot kernel and system tries to load any modules and you get
"Unresolved symbol : __some_function_name" then it means that you did not
clean
compile the modules and kernel. It is mandatory that you should do make
clean
and make the modules. Do this -
bash# cd /usr/src/linux
bash# make dep
bash# make clean
bash# nohup make bzImage &
bash# tail -f nohup.out (.... to monitor the progress)
bash# make modules
bash# make modules_install

Sprague's responses on this list, he was the Radeon guru up until a week or
so ago.
