I tried sending this yesterday but it didn't make it to the list, either because of the number of lines or because of the size of the attachments B-| If needed, I can send the full output from the depmod command. [1.] One line summary of the problem: Unresolved symbol errors from make modules_install [2.] Full description of the problem/report: I've been having this problem since attempting to build late 2.4.20 kernels - after running the usual make *config ; make clean ; make bzImage ; make modules with no errors, when I run the 'make modules_install' I get a bunch of occurrances of unresolved symbol errors from 'depmod -ae -F System.map 2.x.x' most of which are for what appear to be core functions that the modules would need (output is attached, as is my .config). I have *not* found any troubleshooting information regarding errors from depmod in any of the documentation for building the kernel or using kernel modules - nothing in the HOW-TOs either. What causes this and how do I fix it?
