I find randomly this in my compilation log (using depmod from modules-init-tools-3.12) # make new dependencies with all modules (stop on error with -u and display error with -e) depmod -aeu -F /boot/System.map-2.6.32-2 2.6.32-2 WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.32-2/kernel/drivers/net/wan/wanpipe.ko.gz needs unknown symbol wanpipe_wandev_timer_free WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.32-2/kernel/drivers/net/wan/wanpipe.ko.gz needs unknown symbol wanpipe_wandev_timer_create In fact, looking at the code, depmod -u actually does nothing, at least since some versions. Is there an interest to make depmod -u work again? I have been able to cook a patch that make depmod return an error in case an unknow symbol is found and -u option was used. I have attached a preliminary patch that do that. It need a bit more polishing in usage (text alignment) and manual. I could send the patch from git next time, if there is an interest. Gilles
