Hi! I run into the problem of not being able to load modules on an SMP Alpha due to relocation overflows vs sector <pick your favourite integer>. I dug through the archives of the list and noticed it's been discussed but I failed to find a message with a clear diagnosis let alone a solution. One solution I did find was not to use modules but compile everything into the kernel. Since I definitely cannot put everything in the kernel I run the risk of hitting the problem again at a later time, if I just try to compile everything into the kernel. Besides, I don't even know which modules are bad since the first one I keep hitting this problem with is scsi_mod and my root (and everything else as well) is on a scsi disc, so you probably guess how far I get in the boot process... Can anyone point me to a real solution (still using 2.6.8), not a workaround? Hm, you probably want to know: it's a dual UP2000+ running sarge. Oh, 2.4.27 works fine, but there is no udev... Cheers and thanks, Juha -- ----------------------------------------------- | Juha Jäykkä, juolja@utu.fi | | Laboratory of Theoretical Physics | | Department of Physics, University of Turku | | home: http://www.utu.fi/~juolja/ | -----------------------------------------------
