We are trying to port our custom device
driver to work with RHEL 4 update 4 (64 bit). It currently builds and runs
under Suse, Mandriva, and Fedora Core 4 and 5. For some reason, even though it builds on
RHEL 4, the kernel module will not load. We see the following behavior: [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 linux]# insmod
omfs.ko insmod: error inserting 'omfs.ko': -1
Unknown symbol in module [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 linux]# dmesg omfs: module license 'Proprietary' taints
kernel. omfs: Unknown symbol sort The sort function is being picked up from
include/linux/sort.h in the kernel source tree: [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 client]# cd
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 build]# pwd -P /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-smp-x86_64/include/linux [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 linux]# grep sort
sort.h void sort(void *base, size_t num, size_t
size, The sort symbol has an entry in
Module.symvers: [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 linux]# cd ../.. [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 build]# grep sort
Module.symvers 0x9ca95a0e
sort vmlinux The sort symbol also appears in
System.map: [root@eng-mls-rhel4-64 linux]# grep sort
/boot/System.map-2.6.9-42.ELsmp ffffffff80124814 T sort_extable ffffffff801ed18e T sort ffffffff801f4da8 T pdev_sort_resources ffffffff80255aef t cfq_dispatch_sort ffffffff803bf130 r __ksymtab_sort ffffffff803c4700 r __kcrctab_sort ffffffff803caa80 r __kstrtab_sort ffffffff804fd8b7 T sort_main_extable Could anybody explain to me why this would work on so many
other distributions of Linux, but not RHEL 4? Regards, Omneon Video Networks |
