I recently downloaded the 1.3.85 kernel and compiled it. In the
configuration of the kernel I chose to make the slip and ppp modules to
be added when I needed them. The kernel compiles fine, and the modules
compile and install as well. However, when I go to install the modules
I get and error like this:
gcc2_compiled. undefined
failed to load module! The symbols from kernel 1.3.85 don't match 1.3.85
I don't understand it? I did the same exact thing with the 1.3.69
kernel and it worked great, in fact that is the kernel that I am running
now. These are the steps that I use when compiling my kernels:
1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make mrproper
3. make config
4. make dep
5. make clean
6. make zImage
7. cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /
8. cd /
9. lilo
10. reboot
11. cd /usr/src/linux
12. make modules
13. make modules_install
14. insmod /lib/modules/1.3.?/...
I think that I am doing everything correctly because it worked for the
other kernels I compiled. The only changes I made to the system since I
made the 1.3.69 kernel was that I went and installed the following
packages:
1. binutils-2.6.0.12.bin.tar.gz
2. gcc-2.7.2.bin.tar.gz
3. ld.so-1.7.14.tar.gz
4. libc-4.7.5.bin.tar.gz
5. libc-5.0.9.bin.tar.gz
6. libc-5.2.18.bin.tar.gz
7. libq++-2.7.1.4.bin.tar.gz
I installed all of these packages in attempts to keep up with the newest
of everything. Also some of the programs that I was trying to compile
before I installed all of these packages didn't compile, and now the DO!
I read the release notes for each package that I installed and followed
them step by step, I hope! Anyway, I could go on forever, have you
every seen something like this? I am baffled!
Thanks,
