Hi, I want to upgrade the kernel of a Woody from 2.2.22 to 2.4.25. The computer is an old Pentium 75 with two NICs (NE2000) ; everything goes well with 2.2 (io and irq in modules.conf), but NICs are not recognized with 2.4, even with insmod followed by the io and irq parameters.
The module is ne.o , which needs 8390.o. When loading this last one, I obtain this: Using /lib/modules/2.4.25.v/kernel/drivers/net/8390.o /lib/modules/2.4.25.v/kernel/drivers/net/8390.o: unresolved symbol bitreverse_Rbaeb160c /lib/modules/2.4.25.v/kernel/drivers/net/8390.o: unresolved symbol crc32_le_Ra34f1ef5 => No idea where the problem could be. Just searching for the cause of the conflict led me to find the same definition of bitreverse in ksyms.c and crc32.c. As I don't know much about the kernel, I have no idea if this is really a conflict and/or if this involves the "CRC32" module that I have too. Any idea is welcomed, thanks in advance! tartine:/usr/src/linux-2.4.25# grep -r "bitreverse" * include/linux/crc32.h:extern u32 bitreverse(u32 in); include/linux/crc32.h:#define ether_crc(length, data) bitreverse(crc32_le(~0, data, length)) include/linux/modules/crc32.ver:#define __ver_bitreverse baeb160c include/linux/modules/crc32.ver:#define bitreverse _set_ver(bitreverse) kernel/ksyms.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(bitreverse); lib/crc32.c:u32 bitreverse(u32 x) lib/crc32.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(bitreverse); lib/crc32.c: init = bitreverse(init); lib/crc32.c: crc2 = bitreverse(crc1); lib/crc32.c: if (crc1 != bitreverse(crc2)) lib/crc32.c: crc1, crc2, bitreverse(crc2)); -- Christophe Courtois - Ostwald, Alsace, France http://www.courtois.cc/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the Army, travel to exciting new places, meet interesting new people, and kill them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
