hi simon & chuck! thank you very much for the information that you have sent.
i have some confirmation though, because the information confuses me: removing the CONFIG_MODVERSIONS might not change anything. well, i tried it, but the result was indeed still the same. anyway, here was what was done: i compiled the snull source file on 2.4.18-sh which i got from http://www.oreilly.com.tw/editor_column/a138_read.html. it was mentioned in that site that snull was compiled with 2.4.24. anyway, compilation with 2.4.18-sh was successful, but upon running insmod on 2.4.18-sh, i got those unresolved errors. any help/information are very much welcome. and with depmod (since i am cross-compiling): i also tried running "depmod -a" prior to compilation, but depmod wrote into /lib/modules/2.4.24, instead of /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh. both directories exists. do i really need to run depmod? how will i made it update the /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh directory instead of the /lib/modules/2.4.24 directory? again, thanks for the help guys . .. --- simon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Donald Duckie wrote: > > hi! > hello donie > > > > has anyone ever tried compiling and running snull > on > > Linux2.4.18-sh? > > > > i tried compiling snull(without any modification) > on > > Linux2.4.18-sh. > > upon running snull_load, i got the following: > > Using > /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh/kernel/drivers/net/snull. > > insmod: unresolved symbol kmalloc_R93d4cfe6 > > insmod: unresolved symbol > skb_under_panic_R69955398 > > insmod: unresolved symbol > register_netdev_R09e03f58 > > insmod: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_R0a4e7a1c > > insmod: unresolved symbol > unregister_netdev_R98eda3f8 > > insmod: unresolved symbol printk_Rdd132261 > > insmod: unresolved symbol __udivsi3_i4 > > insmod: unresolved symbol memcpy_R11f7ce5e > > insmod: unresolved symbol jiffies_R0da02d67 > > insmod: unresolved symbol alloc_skb_R0177038c > > insmod: unresolved symbol softnet_data_R258cb892 > > insmod: unresolved symbol > cpu_raise_softirq_R4d09166c > > insmod: unresolved symbol __kfree_skb_R1741771d > > insmod: unresolved symbol memset_R2bc95bd4 > > insmod: unresolved symbol kfree_R037a0cba > > insmod: unresolved symbol netif_rx_R8316ccd0 > > insmod: unresolved symbol ether_setup_R586ea93a > > insmod: unresolved symbol skb_over_panic_R4bb59969 > > > > can someone please tell me what's wrong with this, > > and how to fix this without chaning Linux > versions? > remove CONFIG_MODVERSIONS of your kernel is in my > opinion a good idea... > > are you using the original Makefile ? > > your compilation line must look like that... > gcc -D MODVERSIONS -include > /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversion.h... > > if it is already the case... i suggest you to verify > that "modversion.h" > is compliant with your running kernel... > > you can take a look on the chapter 11 of "Device > Driver 2nd edition" > it is just talking about that... > > simon > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
