Description Michal Jaegermann 2005-02-25 22:31:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

An attempt to boot kernel-2.6.10-1.1153_FC4 ends up with

ext3.ko:  Unknown symbol print_tainted

from initrd; but before that there is bunch of complaints
of the same sort from sata_via module.  All of them about
ata_<this> or ata_<that>.  The top of a pretty extensive list
scrolls of a screen but ata_port_start and ata_device_add
are on this list. 'lib/libata.ko' is on the listing of
a correspondign initrd so at this moment is not clear what
is wrong beyon that remaking initrd does not help.

Earlier kernels do boot and 'depmod -ae 2.6.10-1.1153_FC4'
does not produce any complaints.

As for now I do not have i686 kernel yet to check if it is
afflicted too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.10-1.1153_FC4 

How reproducible:
100%
Comment 1 Michal Jaegermann 2005-02-26 00:18:50 UTC 
'depmod -ae ...' on x86 produces around 180 "unknown symbol"
warnings so it is not likely that this kernel boots either.

I am not sure what I did previously on x86_64 to get a quiet
depmod run.  I tried that again and this time I ended up with 141
complaints.

Comment 3 Alexandre Oliva 2005-02-26 08:05:42 UTC 
Same here, it fails to boot because device mapper and scsi modules are
missing symbols.  I tried the i686 UP kernel.  I could try x86_64 UP
as well, but since that's the original report, I guess I won't even
bother...
Comment 4 Bojan Smojver 2005-02-28 00:02:50 UTC 
I'm seeing this with 2.6.10-1.1155_FC4 kernel in relation to in6addr_loopback
symbol. Some of the GFS modules (lock_gulm) want it but can't find it:

-----------------------------------
[root@xen1 ipv6]# modprobe lock_gulm
lock_gulm: Unknown symbol in6addr_loopback
FATAL: Error inserting lock_gulm
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.1155_FC4xenU/kernel/fs/gfs_locking/lock_gulm/lock_gulm.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
-----------------------------------

Inspection if ipv6.ko module gives:

-----------------------------------
[root@xen1 ipv6]# nm ipv6.ko  | grep in6addr_loopback
00000024 R in6addr_loopback
-----------------------------------

Same thing on FC3 (2.6.10-1.766_FC3) gives:

-----------------------------------
[root@itp800 ipv6]# nm ipv6.ko  | grep in6addr_loopback
97abb28c A __crc_in6addr_loopback
00000034 R in6addr_loopback
00000060 r __kcrctab_in6addr_loopback
000001a3 r __kstrtab_in6addr_loopback
000000c0 r __ksymtab_in6addr_loopback
-----------------------------------

Not sure if the above falls into the same category as what other people reported
in this bug, but if it does, I hope it's useful.
Comment 5 Bojan Smojver 2005-02-28 00:49:52 UTC 
BTW, this seems to be the problem even when loading lock_gulm in xen0 kernel,
not just xenU.
Comment 6 Bojan Smojver 2005-03-03 00:09:23 UTC 
Installation of 1162 gives:
