Hi, I installed linux redhat 7.2 with 2.4.18-3 kernel, since the kernel.org only supplies kernel source of 2.4.18, I downloaded it and rebuilt the kernel 2.4.18, the reason I did this is because when I compile a kernel module using 2.4.18 src code, I can not install it into 2.4.18-3 kernel. I did make menuconfig, make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, and copied System.map and bzImage to /boot partition and /sbin/mkinitrd the proper initrd.img file, grup.conf is also changed, but after booting, it propmted /lib/ext3.o unresolved symbol journal_restart /lib/ext3.o unresolved symbol journal_abort ... bunch of journal symbol, I am pretty sure I have ext3.o and jbd.o choosen as kernel module and linked into initrd.img since I can see them when using /sbin/mkinitrd -v option. can anybody tell me what's wrong with these? Is that because I can not have a new kernel version older than the current one? Thanks, -Haijin -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
