Hello,

When compiling a kernel module, i see a Module.symvers missing message, like:

WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.19-5-obj/ia64/debug/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

What is Module.symvers used for? What happens if you ignore this warning?

Thanks

Durga
