Description Armijn Hemel 2004-08-11 14:17:46 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:

Description of problem:
I installed 2.6.7-1.515 (both SMP and non-SMP) on my machine. During
installation it complains about not being able to find some symbols
for the Tux webserver. I don't know if this is because I don't have
the Tux packages installed, but that shouldn't matter, right?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install FC2
2.install kernel 2.6.7-1.515
3.
    

Actual Results:  There were warnings.

Expected Results:  I don't want warnings!

Additional info:

It might have something to do with the following warnings I got when
building the kernel from source. After the build was done, "make
modules_install" and "make install" returned those same warnings
described in this bug report.

Confirming installation of kernel-2.6.8-1.541 and kernel-smp-2.6.8-1.541
i686 no longer reports warnings about unknown symbols. But then again
541 doesn't provide tux.ko any longer... i guess that's one way to
avoid throwing warning messages.  Closing as resolution rawhide.
