Category: kernel modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Sisternicky (eisiware) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: vsock module not loadable into the kernel (2.6.28.7) Initial Comment: Hi, on my new kernel, the module vsock will not load. On modprobing, it returns the following error message: root [ ~ ]# modprobe -v vsock insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28.7/kernel/net/vsock/vsock.ko FATAL: Error inserting vsock (/lib/modules/2.6.28.7/kernel/net/vsock/vsock.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) and here follows the kernel log: Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.571989] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIMemcpyToQueueV Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572151] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIMemcpyToQueueV Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572285] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIEvent_Unsubscribe Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572382] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIEvent_Unsubscribe Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572514] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIQueuePair_Alloc Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572595] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIQueuePair_Alloc Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572864] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIDatagram_Send Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572946] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIDatagram_Send Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572953] vsock: no symbol version for VMCI_GetContextID Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.572959] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCI_GetContextID Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.573510] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIQueuePair_Detach Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.573594] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIQueuePair_Detach Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.573977] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIMemcpyFromQueueV Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.574062] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIMemcpyFromQueueV Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.574395] vsock: no symbol version for VMCI_DeviceGet Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.574471] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCI_DeviceGet Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.574636] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIEvent_Subscribe Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.574713] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIEvent_Subscribe Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.574947] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIDatagram_DestroyHnd Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.575027] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIDatagram_DestroyHnd Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.575162] vsock: no symbol version for VMCIDatagram_CreateHnd Mar 3 23:18:40 landfrauen kernel: [ 1912.575240] vsock: Unknown symbol VMCIDatagram_CreateHnd all other modules load fine. Is there any fix known already? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Aaron Rolett (microchip21) Date: 2009-03-03 19:08 Message: It sounds like you have a newer kernel built with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS and the vsock module doesn't know about the vmci module symbol versions so the kernel is refusing to load it. This should work ... I'm interested to figure out what went wrong. First let me say that you should be able to force the kernel to load the module by using --force-modversion (although then you bypass CONFIG_MODVERSIONS which we would like to avoid). Is there a Module.symvers file in the vsock module build directory? If so, what are the contents? What is the contents of the __versions section of the module? modprobe --dump-modversions ./vsock.ko should give the info. It would also be interesting to see the output of nm ./vmci.ko | grep __crc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=2658928&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
