FWIW deleting the offending modules cures the error message, but is obviously
not much help if anyone wants to use it :o)

Looks like a missing EXPORT_SYMBOL(gendisk_head) in genhd.c

Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2001-11-14 10:55:06 UTC

Not quite; that symbol is not available for modules for a good reason:
there are access functions for the list in question which take care of proper
locking; evms accesses it directly while violating the locking rules for it....
IBM is fixing it in evms

Comment 3 Bill Crawford 2001-11-14 11:23:36 UTC

Ah.
