Hello. I've been trying to figure out why this 2.1.125 dosen't work for
me. I have yet to look through for the symbol/version error, but I'm
going to throw it out for anyone who has the time to answer it. I'll
throw out the more important question first.
First question. Whenever I run my RC5 client under my 2.1.125 kernel I
get rather significant speed decreases. Look at this below. The first
part is running under a 2.0.32 and the second part (after the shutdown
and restart of the client) under the 2.1.125.

See. It dosen't even do half of what it usually does most of the time.
BTW, if anyone wants any output (mptable, dmesg, etc.) just let me know.
Second question. None of my modules load. It's either something in
the kernel config, or something else stupid I have done. on boot, every
module that is tried get and unresolved symbols error. If I try doing
it manually (insmod) it tells me that it can't get the kernel_version.
Here's some info on my kernel setup pertaining to the modules.
under Loadable module support
enable loadable mod support = yes
set version info on all syms for mods = yes (also tried with no)
kernel mod loader = yes
oh, this is neat. after exiting the kernel setup I got this
make: *** Warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete.
Can anyone help me, or should I just stick with the 2.0.32? I've never
had a prob with the 2.0.32, but I suppose that's why they're considered
stable.
Here's my hardware BTW.
dual PPro 200MHz 256K L2
Adaptec AHA-1542B SCSI host
7.0GB Maxtor IDE DiamondMax
1.0 GB Quantum SCSI-2
258MB Quantum SCSI-2
FIC P0-6200 motherboard
64 MB EDO (generic I believe)
3c509B 10MB eth
very sick Mistumi FX32s CD-ROM
ESS-1868 audio card
S3 VIRGE/DX (don't laugh)
Timothy,
