Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 Version: 2.4.27-6 Severity: grave Tags: d-i Loading a module from the -2 version of this package when the -6 version of the kernel is running fails for at least all the ide chipset modules and for the ide generic module, with many missing symbols: ~ # uname -a Linux donkey 2.4.27-1-386 #1 Wed Dec 1 19:43:08 JST 2004 i686 unknown ~ # modprobe generic insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol blk_init_queue_R140d40ee insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol proc_symlink_R7165fa10 insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol remove_proc_entry_R0a4291c8 insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol devfs_mk_dir_R9c2c983a insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol blk_cleanup_queue_R741c7da6 insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol add_gendisk_Rf957a44e insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol end_that_request_first_Rafbe0bbc insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol devfs_register_blkdev_R7e5f30a4 insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol blk_queue_bounce_limit_Re74e8980 insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o: unresolved symbol mem_map_Rc7a5c379 Since I uploaded udebs for d-i built from this new kernel build, this has broken netboot installs on i386 using the daily builds, since such a netboot install boots the -6 kernel, then downloads -2 udebs from testing. It seems that unless this imcompatability is fixed, we won't be able to update d-i in testing to use the new kernel without breaking netboot and floppy installs using the d-i rc2 images. This proably also breaks third party modules in debian that are built against version -2, doesn't it? I think that this is a bug in this build of the kernel. If the changed symbols are for some reason unavoidable, the kernel package name should be changed to kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386. Of course that would suck and leave us with d-i problems and so I hope you can just fix it.. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities ii initrd-tools 0.1.74 tools to create initrd image for p ii modutils 2.4.26-1.1 Linux module utilities -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
