The Continuing Saga of the Kernel that Now Boots, but doesn't Work
Hi everyone,
Anyone who has been following the threads "Linux Progress Patch (Splash
Screen)" and "The Kernel that Wouldn't Boot," have probably gotten really
tired of hearing about my little kernel.
Well, hopefully I'll finally have it fixed soon, so not to worry. :-)
Anyway, my kernel now boots, but many of the modules have undefined symbols.
I have tried rebuilding the modules. As an example, here is the output I get
if I try to initialize my mouse (insmod'ing hid, mousedev, usb-uhci, etc.):
----------------------------------------------------------------

Needless to say, this means USB doesn't work. Any ideas on what I might be
doing wrong that would cause such a nasty set of errors? It seems a number of
other modules suffer the same type of errors, running depmod -a returns this:

----------------------------------------------------------------
That's about an eighth of the total errors output by depmod -a.
I'm open (and would *definately* welcome) suggestions. Err... perhaps that
was too subtle in it's meaning, I'll try this HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP! :-)
