Hi people, Im using Mandrake 8.1 which comes with the 2.4.8 kernel. I recently downloaded and compiled the 2.4.18 kernel and everythign went fine. after a reboot there were no error messages at all that i could see, BUT when I try to compile stuff I get error messages about unresolved symbols. In more details it talks about unresolved symbols in some kernel modules (they appear to be some chinese language modules or something...i dont remember installing them!). in /lib/modules i have 3 directories: 2.4 2.4.8-26mdk 2.4.18
the directory for 2.4.18-26mdk is the default kernel..the one shipped with mandrake, 2.4.18 is obviously the one i compiled, but 2.4 has me stumped...in that directroy there is a directory called chinese and in that directory there are modules obviously..but the thing is i dont remember installing these..i know nothing of the chinese language...are these installed by default, do they affect the operation of mandrake and in which way, how do i remove them safely if i can? at the end of the modules.dep file in the 2.4.18 directory, it made reference to those chinese modules. I'm guessing thise is why i'm getting errors about unresolved symbols when trying to compile my NVIDIA kernel module. when i use the 2.4.18 kernel everything works fine except X, because I cant compile the kernel module or the GLX driver for my 3D accelerator. I have removed the old drivers compiled for the 2.4.8 kernel. i would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks heaps. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
