Re: unresolved symbols

[Panakj Kaushal <apenguinhead@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't belive we  still have this issue hanging
after a beautiful and state of the art how-to 
by jaswinder.

any way those who missed it 
The unresolved symbols are 
Because of:

Whenever you compile a kernel with module support
you have to compile the modules
when you are compiling the kernel of the same version 
you are currently using
ie i'm using linux-2.4.0-test6
and recompiling the kernel with some changes 
chances are i may have removed or added some modules 
for  example removed the sb.o module
but if i do not remove the 
/lib/modules/2.4.0.test6/ directory or renamed it
to be  /lib/modules/2.4.0.test6.backup/ 
the the sb.o module will still be in the /lib/modules/2.4.0.test6/misc/
directory 
and while starting up the kernel will encounter 
the sb.o  module but will find no defination for it
and thus give the error

Solution is:

many, but mine is rename the modules directory to be
2.x.y.z.backup
and do 
$make modules make;modules_install
