Re: unresolved symbols



To quote "Hall Stevenson" <hallstevenson@mindspring.com>,
# Do a "mv /lib/modules/2.2.17 /lib/modules/2.2.17-backup" and then
re-run
# "make modules_install".

Another option is to edit the kernel toplevel Makefile. It's probably
/usr/src/linux/Makefile .

Four lines down, there an EXTRAVERSION variable that is generally unset.
Add you own identifier(-custom1, -custom2, -01-29-2000), and that's
what's added your kernel version. So, if you compiled 2.2.17, with an
EXTRAVERSION of "-custom1", 'uname -r' would report "2.2.17-custom1",
all your modules would automatically be put in
/lib/modules/2.2.17-custom1(meaning that you don't have to get rid of
your old modules, etc.), and so on and so forth.

This is probably the best solution to your problem.
