Dear kernel gurus..

My system is Redhat 9.0
I have compiled 2.4.21 kernel downloaded from kernel.org all things went good according to my choice.
But when doing make modules_install i got the error for Unresolved sysmbols.

Result of depmod -a

[root@joel root]# depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o

So what should i enable in this kernel so that i can not see error again.
Searched for this error on google but cant find appropriate answer. it says "SIS DRM requires SIS frame buffer, known problem"

but i didnt got solution from above sentence. i am very new to kernel compilation.

Any ideas,

Regards,
Joel

No, but it might take more than 55 minutes for someone familiar with that code to read it and reply this time of the morning. Some do sleep occasionally you know.

You need CONFIG_FB_SIS=y to go with CONFIG_DRM_SIS=y. The 2.4 build system cannot detect the requirement, you have to set CONFIG_FB_SIS=y by hand.
