Hello, I'm posting here for the first time, I hope to be on the right list for my problem. I'm porting a private kernel driver from 2.4 to new 2.6 Linux kernel (2.6.8 precisely), on a Debian system. I've modified its sources and its compile scheme, get a module (named x25sbs.ko), but when I'm trying to load it, I get the following message : # modprobe x25sbs FATAL: Error inserting x25sbs (/lib/modules/2.6.8-dev/extra/x25sbs.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) # dmesg|tail -10 ... x25sbs: Unknown symbol exit_files This module uses really this function (in a kernel thread), but this functions seems to always exist in the 2.6 series : # grep exit_files /boot/System.map-2.6.8-dev c011c4d0 T exit_files c012ae68 t kthread_exit_files So I don't understand why modprobe tells me that ! Can anybody tells me where I'm wrong ? thanks. with regards, Fred. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
