My fix for symbol_put_addr() is now in the mainline git, thanks to Johannes' persistence. As for a compat.h fix, I do not think it can be done. In order to do the address -> module lookup you need at the minimum to use either module_text_addr() or to walk the list of modules. module_text_addr() is not exported, so you can't call it from a module. The module list is static to kernel/module.c, so you can't get to it either. If symbol_put_addr() is used, I think the only solution for older kernels will be to disable dynamic dependencies. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
