insmod: unresolved symbol

hi!

has anyone ever tried compiling and running snull on
Linux2.4.18-sh?

i tried compiling snull(without any modification) on
Linux2.4.18-sh.
upon running snull_load, i got the following:
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh/kernel/drivers/net/snull.
insmod: unresolved symbol kmalloc_R93d4cfe6
insmod: unresolved symbol skb_under_panic_R69955398
insmod: unresolved symbol register_netdev_R09e03f58
insmod: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_R0a4e7a1c
insmod: unresolved symbol unregister_netdev_R98eda3f8
insmod: unresolved symbol printk_Rdd132261
insmod: unresolved symbol __udivsi3_i4
insmod: unresolved symbol memcpy_R11f7ce5e
insmod: unresolved symbol jiffies_R0da02d67
insmod: unresolved symbol alloc_skb_R0177038c

insmod: unresolved symbol netif_rx_R8316ccd0
insmod: unresolved symbol ether_setup_R586ea93a
insmod: unresolved symbol skb_over_panic_R4bb59969

can someone please tell me what's wrong with this,
and how to fix this without chaning Linux versions?


thank you for you help in advance :-)

remove CONFIG_MODVERSIONS of your kernel is in my opinion a good idea...

are you using the original Makefile ?

your compilation line must look like that...
gcc -D MODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversion.h...

if it is already the case... i suggest you to verify that "modversion.h"
is compliant with your running kernel...

you can take a look on the chapter 11 of "Device Driver 2nd edition"
it is just talking about that...

Did you run 'depmod -a' ?

Re: insmod: unresolved symbol

hi simon & chuck!

thank you very much for the information that you have
sent.

i have some confirmation though, because the
information confuses me: removing the
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS might not change anything. well, i
tried it, but the result was indeed still the same.

anyway, here was what was done:
i compiled the snull source file on 2.4.18-sh which i
got from
http://www.oreilly.com.tw/editor_column/a138_read.html.
it was mentioned in that site that snull was compiled
with 2.4.24.

anyway, compilation with 2.4.18-sh was successful,
but upon running insmod on 2.4.18-sh, i got those
unresolved errors.

any help/information are very much welcome.


and with depmod (since i am cross-compiling):
i also tried running "depmod
-a" prior to compilation, but depmod wrote into
/lib/modules/2.4.24, instead of
/lib/modules/2.4.18-sh. both directories exists.
do i really need to run depmod? how will i made it
update the /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh directory instead of
the /lib/modules/2.4.24 directory?



again, thanks for the help guys . ..

If you had taken the trouble to have answered the few questions i asked you in
my reply on the other thread, you could have gotten an answer here strait
away from me, however you choose not to so you still have problems.
depmod with the -a option will write modules.dep to the directory which
matches the results of the command, 'uname -r', so seeing that depmod wrote
to 2.4.18 we can presume you are getting mixed up with 2.4.18-sh and 2.4.18,
as i said in a previous mail, the directroy containg the linux source code
(which is linked to "linux" with a symlink) is simply a name, the name of the
resulting kernel is taken from the topdir Makefile lines 1,2,3 and 4, 4 is
optional.

I think its time you answered the questions i and others have asked, then and
only then could one get to the bottom of the problem you are having. I am
convinced its got nothing to do with kernel 2.4.18 (see my comments in other
mails).
