Thanks for correcting my process, Christopher. If I follow your revised
instructions my module compiles successfully. But I still get unresolved
symbols (see output below) when the module attempts to get loaded during
kickstart. These are different unresolved symbols from when I wasn't
following the correct process for compiling the module under the BOOT
kernel. So, how do I tell whether the problem is with the compilation of
my module or whether it lies with my process of adding the module to the
initrd.img?
OUTPUT FROM ALTF3 SCREEN:
going to insmod e100.o (path is NULL)
/tmp/e100.o: unresolved symbols __io_virt_debug
/tmp/e100.o: unresolved symbols __netdev_watchdog_up
/tmp/e100.o: unresolved symbols eth_type_trans
/tmp/e100.o: unresolved symbols __kfree_skb
/tmp/e100.o: unresolved symbols alloc skb
. . . followed by about 10 more unresolved symbols

RH = Rebecca Hepper
RH> 1. Install the BOOT kernel RPM (kernel-BOOT-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm)
RH> 2. Install the kernel source RPM (kernel-source-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm)
RH> 3. Boot into the BOOT kernel (uname -r shows 2.4.2-2BOOT)
You don't need this step.
RH> 4. cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/config/kernel-2.4.2-i386-BOOT.config
RH> /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/.config
At this point, you need to do "cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.2; make oldconfig".
It's this, I think, that saves you from having to do step 3.
RH> 5. then do a 'make clean' and a 'make dep' in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.2
RH> directory
RH> 6. change directories to my e100 source code and change the KSP define
in
RH> the Makefile to the following:
RH> KSP := /usr/src/linux-2.4.2
RH> 7. Compile the driver and install the resulting module into the
RH> initrd.img.
