Hello, this also happened to me when upgrading to testing from 2.2.3 (thats what I think it was at least. The kernel is no problem to compile before the upgrade, but afterwards, I must put things out as modules. I also noticed very peculiar things with me not having permission to execute scripts on one of my partitions (was root with permission 777 on both file and catalogue on a local ext filesystem). Moved this to another filesystem and it worked fine. I did some research and only saw a few updates on the linkerside from redhat, but nothing like this from debian.
Any more who had the same problem. (The same message didn't just come from the soundcard, it also came from the netdriver). And as everything compiled neatly before the update, I do not believe that this is a kernel issue in itself.

This is specific to 2.4.x kernels. 2.2.x just do fine. The error message I get from 'make bzImage' is: drivers/char/char.o (.data+0x46b4) undefined reference to 'local symbols in discarded section .text.exit' drivers/net/net.o (.data+0xbb4) undefined reference to 'local symbols in discarded section .text.exit' drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o (.data+0x1d4) undefined reference to 'local symbols in discarded section .text.exit' net/network.o (.text.lock+0x152.c) undefined reference to 'local symbols in discarded section .text.exit' I searched the mailing list archives but could not get any related information. If anyone can help I would be very happy. Thank in advance. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
