Hi,

Just upgraded to kernel 1.3.74 with modules 1.3.69c and got the following
message on doing a "make modules"
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/block'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -DCPU=486
-DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -c -o loop.o loop.c
loop.c: In function `loop_clr_fd':
loop.c:280: warning: implicit declaration of function `blkdev_release' rm -f
$TOPDIR/modules/BLOCK_MODULES

The module still compiles and installs but on boot up you get the
following error message from the system:
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.3.74/block/loop.o

If I try and do a manual insmod:
blkdev_open: wrong version or undefined
blkdev_release: wrong version or undefined
Loading failed! The module symbols (from linux-1.3.74) don't match
your linux-1.3.74

Any ideas ?

Ta

Adrian.
