Hi all,

I'm have build linux kernel 2.6.8.1 with Debian testing distro on a PowerPC (PowerBook G4). All went well and booted oke except for bleutooth support:

Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_free_dev
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_alloc_dev
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_unregister_dev
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_register_dev
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_free_dev
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_alloc_dev
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_unregister_dev
hci_usb: Unknown symbol hci_register_dev
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: HCI USB driver ver 2.7
usbcore: registered new driver hci_usb
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting hci_usb (/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-pbg4/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/hci_usb.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting hci_usb (/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-pbg4/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/hci_usb.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I also patched the 2.6.8.1 kernel source with patch-2.6.8-mh2 but that resulted in the same error. dmesg says the same as above. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Regards,

Pander

I have seen this too, but sometimes it still works. Check with lsmod if the module is loaded.

Hi Marcel, it works althought the FATAL is being reported.

Thanks,

Hi Marcel, it works althought the FATAL is being reported.

please don't ask me why this happens. Ask this on the kernel mailing list, because it seems that it is a general module problem.

Regards

Marcel

The unknown symbols are from the core bluetooth.ko module. It looks like an attempt has been made to insmod the hci_usb.ko module _without_ first loading the bluetooth.ko modules.

The modules are _also_ loaded correctly though, and then it works.

I don't see this with Fedora on my PowerBook G4. I suspect it's a userspace problem. Check that the dependencies are correct -- has depmod been run?

it must be a module-init-tools problem, because for me it seems that this problem is no longer present after an update of this package.
