OK thanks, the kernel works fine, including modutils.

Actually it seems I had a buggy patch, so I vi-ed the C and played diff
for a while and it fixed what I mentioned below , but it uncovered a
truckload of other C errors, so I guess I'll just wait for a patch from
nvidia, because it seems that kernel 2.4 does not behave like they
thought it would

Thanks anyway

kernel 2.4.0-test12 and get_module_symbol

[Romain Lerallut]

Hello everyone,

I'm using kernel 2.4.0-test12.
I need to compile the drivers for my nvidia card and they call
"get_module_symbol" and "put_module_symbol"  which I cannot find.

I did a quick search on the web but I found nothing about test12...

If anyone could tell me how I can get  a  patch or something, that would
be very appreciated.
(and also _please_ if you send a patch tell me exactly how to set it up,
I'm not familiar with patching :-(  (what does the -pnum option do btw
???))

Thanks in advance
Romain

Kernel 2.4.0-test12

[JP Sartre]

Hi all..

Just curious if there is something different with the latest test kernel? I was 
running test10 and decided to try out test12 with a fresh potato -> woody 
install. I've compiled many kernels, but this latest time I have run into a 
little snag. Seems my modules do not work. I have done a make modules && make 
modules_install and they are installed for sure, but my new modules.dep is 
empty (i.e 0 bytes), and I can't modprobe any of my modules.. every time I do I 
get something like module XXX.o not found. I've followed the same procedure as 
with every kernel, and this one is a mystery to me. I have everything set to 
yes in the Loadable Modules support section, and I even tried with kernel 
module loader off to see if that would do anything... 

So, anyone have any suggestions? I'm stumped.. 

Thanks.. 

JP
