Unresolved symbols when building kernel modules with make-kpkg, worked fine before
Hi,
Since about a week (maybe a bit longer), I can't build working kernel
modules anymore. An example is lm-sensors (using lm-sensors-src) and the
CVS snapshots of the DRI stuff (packages made by Michel Daenzer).
E.g., the 2003.04.25 version of the drm-module-trunk-src package (by
Michel) compiled (using make-kpkg modules-image) and installed (dpkg -i
<.deb file>) nicely, on April 27th. If I try to build that same package
now, I get a lot of Unresolved symbols in the depmod phase of the
installation (carried out by dpkg).
The same goes for lm-sensors, as I already said.
I'm running testing, and update/dist-upgrade almost every day. The above
packages were built using gcc-2.95, since the kernel I'm running (the
precompiled kernel image of package kernel-image-2.4.20-1-k7) is
compiled with 2.95.
What changed since then? I saw there is at least the migration to
gcc-3.2 as default (but again, I didn't use it to compile the modules
with) and a new version of kernel-package.
I'm getting pretty desperate! What could have changed in my build
environment causing this? (I certainly haven't messed with it myself... ;-)
Michel suggested it could have to do something with CONFIG_MOVERSIONS,
but my knowledge is too limited to find out what exactly could this have
to do with it.
Thanks in advance for any reply!
