[linux-dvb] Re: 2.5.55 and today CVS: GREAT!!!
Hello Gregoire,
I think you know that 2.5.56 is out, and that there is a problem with
linux-dvb:
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.5.56/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/microcode.ko needs unknown symbol devfs_set_file_size
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.5.56/kernel/fs/nfsd/nfsd.ko needs unknown symbol hash_mem
By looking at these lines, you should not that not only the dvb drivers
are affected... ;-)
I hope I didn't make something wrong again?
Nope. The "module-init-tools" (to be precise: depmod) have a bug --
modules with GPL exported symbols are not handled correctly. The
dependencies do *not* include dependencies to GPL modules, so nearly
everything fails...
http://www.de.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/
Get the latest "module-init-tools-0.9.7.tar.gz" and apply the patch that
has been posted on lklm by Petr Vandrovec. (I attached it to this mail,
too).
Thank you very much ;-)
