Re: SMBFS not working on Qube2

[Ralf Roesch <debian-users@cantastic.de>]

Daniel,

I assume it is a kernel symbol export problem - memchr() is probably not
exported.

Could you please try to insert in module /arch/mips/kernel/mips_ksyms.c:

EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS(memchr);
(best located in section: marked /*  String functions */)

and then recompile your kernel.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Ralf
