hi, i had some problems with the kernel...so installed linux and checked the kernel for Loadable Module Support and tried the same example of character driver code called scull initially i got parse error for inter_module_register() inter_module_unregister() inter_module_get() inter_module_get_request() try_inc_mod_count() then i commented out these lines in linux/module.h file and the compiled code...it was done then i did insmod but iam getting the same error unresolved symbol register_chrdev this time without any _Rfxxxxxxx i also went to the site http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/index.php3#compmod and as per it ,did make menuconfig , dep, bzIamge and tried on another kernel but getting the same error... it would be really helpful if you can tell where the problem is... regards Shifani Amit Kucheria <amitk@ittc.ku.edu> To: Shifani.bose@lntinfotech.com Sent by: cc: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org kernelnewbies-bounce@nl Subject: Re: unreoved symbols .linux.org 05/31/2002 02:18 PM Are you compiling Module versions into the kernel?
