Bug#660983: [linux-2.6] Licensed Symbol Conflicts with Some Non-GPL Modules

[David Baron <d_baron@012.net.il>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.1-rt
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
First: Great news--now have officital rt-preemptive kernels.

A recurring problem with patched or debug kernels concerns gpl-only symbol 
names preventing non-gpl modules from building or running. Current case 
involves "migrate_enable" which blocks the nvidia module from building (using 
dkms). There may be others since those using the rt kernels are usually 
involved with multimedia and will be more likely to be using non-gpl software.

This renders the new kernels unusable in such cases, Manual work-arounds will 
be illegal or quasi-legal at best.
