Sorry if this question is the beaten dead horse
Hello All,
I have a question, sorry if it is totally out of this league.
I have been trying to compile a 2.5 kernel with modules support for a while, and have always been unsuccessful.
There are always unresolved symbols.
Always. Tons of em. If I didn't know any better, I'd say all of them of which I tried to compile as modules.
I am not a newbie to Linux, I have been putting together distros for over 6 years, but the past year or two I have been maintaining stable releases in production environments. Just recently, I have tried to build the 2.5 tree, adn I know I am missing something.
I am using Slackware 9.0, which is glibc 2.3.1 and gcc 3.2.2. Modutils 2.4.25 with Rusty's module-init-tools-0.9.12. It is mostly Vanilla otherwise.
I know I must be missing a lot of tools and system-side changes to accomodate a 2.5 kernel, and I have been trying to identify what they are.
No need to get too specific, I have been categorically a kernel "user" for quite some time (just not a 2.5 one), so I just need quick info and links.
Thanks in advance!!
Aww geesh.
I am such a fool.
All I have to say is 'less ./Documentation/Changes'. I will give this a go first before I send another silly email. remember to RTFM. ;)
Sorry about that.
Been a while since I had to read the kernel user's readmes.

FYI,
Since Slackware went to gcc-3.2.2 with the release of 9.0, I have been successfully building recent 2.4 kernels without any problems.
You guys probably already know this, but coming from another user.. It works for me.
Just did not occur to me that this may be my problem when compiling a 2.5 kernel until I read what I wrote you ;)
