I just built a custom kernel and modules, and got a bunch of errors about unresolved symbols errors from depmod:
# dpkg -i alsa-modules-2.4.24advncdfs_1.0.2c-2+rb.2_i386.deb i2c-2.4.24advncdfs_2.8.1-1+rb.2_i386.deb lm-sensors-2.4.24advncdfs_2.8.1-2+rb.2_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package alsa-modules-2.4.24advncdfs.

I'm tempted to think this is just because depmod is running against the current (2.4.21) kernel, but I don't recall seeing such warnings in the past. Here is some possibly related information and puzzles: Kernel and modules built with debianized sources, debianized kernel-patches, and make-kpkg. I've been getting errors about apm.o (only) with my current kernel: Feb 29 07:30:01 wheat insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.21advncdfs/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o: init_module: No such device I do have the file /lib/modules/2.4.21advncdfs/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o on my system. The build of the kernel seemed to have an unusual number of missing files type messages. For example, acsi.c:74:25: asm/atarihw.h: No such file or directory acsi.c:75:27: asm/atariints.h: No such file or directory acsi.c:76:28: asm/atari_acsi.h: No such file or directory acsi.c:77:29: asm/atari_stdma.h: No such file or directory acsi.c:78:29: asm/atari_stram.h: No such file or directory fetchop.c:59:25: asm/machvec.h: No such file or directory fetchop.c:60:24: asm/sn/sgi.h: No such file or directory fetchop.c:61:26: asm/sn/addrs.h: No such file or directory fetchop.c:62:25: asm/sn/arch.h: No such file or directory fetchop.c:63:28: asm/sn/fetchop.h: No such file or directory fetchop.c:64:29: asm/sn/sn_cpuid.h: No such file or directory i2c-ite.h:36:31: asm/it8172/it8172.h: No such file or directory rtc.c:27:25: asm/machdep.h: No such file or directory rtc.c:29:22: asm/time.h: No such file or directory via-pmu.c:36:22: asm/prom.h: No such file or directory via-pmu.c:37:25: asm/machdep.h: No such file or directory via-pmu.c:41:26: asm/sections.h: No such file or directory via-pmu.c:44:30: asm/pmac_feature.h: No such file or directory via-pmu.c:47:26: asm/sections.h: No such file or directory via-pmu.c:48:26: asm/cputable.h: No such file or directory via-pmu.c:49:22: asm/time.h: No such file or directory tc.c:19:27: asm/addrspace.h: No such file or directory tc.c:21:30: asm/dec/machtype.h: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-core.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-dev.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-algo-bit.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-algo-biths.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-philips-par.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-elv.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-velleman.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-algo-pcf.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-proc.d: No such file or directory Makefile:168: kernel/i2c-pport.d: No such file or directory make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/kernel/modules/lm-sensors' Makefile:246: kernel/busses/i2c-nforce2.d: No such file or directory Makefile:246: kernel/busses/i2c-ipmb.d: No such file or directory Makefile:246: kernel/busses/i2c-ipmi.d: No such file or directory Makefile:246: kernel/busses/i2c-ali1535.d: No such file or directory The latter ones about i2c and lm-sensors seem particularly problematic (I built both as modules, disabling i2c in the kernel). Can anybody tell me whether any of this indicates a significant problem, and if so, what I can do about it? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
