As a workaround for the time until we can deploy the fix please re-link modules with a command like ld -r -o new.o broken.o. > I use the following line for generating the object file: > mipsel-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mcpu=r3000 -mlong-calls -mips1 -pipe -c That's correct. > I am using modutils version 2.3.11. We have tried both Debian and RedHat sources cross-compiled for MIPS with the following options: > CC=mipsel-linux-gcc CFLAGS="-I../linux/include -DMIPS" RANLIB=mipsel-linux-ranlib AR=mipsel-linux-ar ./configure --disable-kerneld > --disable-compat-2-0 --enable-insmod-static --target=mipsel-linux > However the problem still remains. Please upgrade to the latest modutils from ftp.kernel.org; it has a bugfixes which are important for MIPS. Ralf
