I've merged it all, but it causes lots of scary warnings: - from the purely broken ones: ehci_hcd: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. - to the scary ones: sysfs: duplicate filename 'ehci_hcd' can not be created WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:424 sysfs_add_one() Pid: 610, comm: insmod Tainted: GF 2.6.24-gb47711bf #28 Call Trace: [<ffffffff802bd63c>] sysfs_add_one+0x54/0xbd [<ffffffff802bdbc0>] create_dir+0x4f/0x87 [<ffffffff802bdc2d>] sysfs_create_dir+0x35/0x4a [<ffffffff803154c8>] kobject_get+0x12/0x17 [<ffffffff80315607>] kobject_add_internal+0xd9/0x194 [<ffffffff8031579c>] kobject_add_varg+0x54/0x61 [<ffffffff80261efe>] __alloc_pages+0x66/0x2ee [<ffffffff80315321>] kobject_init+0x42/0x82 [<ffffffff80315843>] kobject_init_and_add+0x9a/0xa7 [<ffffffff802722c0>] __vmalloc_area_node+0x111/0x135 [<ffffffff8025546b>] mod_sysfs_init+0x6e/0x83 [<ffffffff802561e8>] sys_init_module+0xa3d/0x1833 [<ffffffff8028ebd5>] dput+0x1c/0x10b [<ffffffff8020b3be>] system_call+0x7e/0x83 and the problem seems to be that it does all these checks even for modules that will never be loaded, because I use my own kernel, but with the default Fedora initrd (which is trying to load modules for stuff that I already have built in). Very annoying. Can we please do that *after* the module loading symbol checks have run, so that when you try to load a module that will not load, it won't complain about these silly things? (You can probably trigger this by simply trying to load a module that was compiled for another kernel version - it will fail fine, but in failing it will then generate all these incorrect warnings!) Now it incorrectly taints my kernel, for no good reason.
