Hi,
The system I use is Mandrake 10.1 86_64 .
I used insmod to install module dmx3191d.ko for my scsi card which is
necessary for my Trust Scanner.
However I get the following return:-
'-1 Unknown symbol in module.'
Should I make a kernel bug report to to Linux, or is something else not
appropriate.
With thanks,
Malcolm Candlih.
Before thinking of making a bug report, try using "modprobe" inplace of
"insmod". The difference is that modprobe will load any modules that
your modules needs in order to work, while insmod just tries to load the
module you specified. The way things are structured, it is not unusual
for 2 or 3 modules to need to be loaded for a driver to work. In this
case, you probably need a common SCSI modules as well as the basic
driver module. The reasion the common module code is in a seperate
module is that it is used by many different modules, and will be shared
by them if you have more then one loaded.
modprobe dmx3191d

Dear Mikkel,
I tried a you suggested with the following reult:-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] malcolm]# /sbin/modprobe
'/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko'
FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko not
found.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] malcolm]# /sbin/insmod
'/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko'
insmod: error inserting
'/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12.5mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko': -1 Unknown
symbol in module
Under insmod '-1 Unknown symbol in module', and under modprobe 'not
found' even though I included the full path!
I don't know of any other modules that could be needed.
Thank you, I do appreciate your kind input.
Malcolm Candlish.
Try "modprobe dmx3191d" instead. That is the form needed for modprobe.
It will use the modules for the currently running kernel.
