The workaround about the symbolic link works for me too, trying to build openvswitch 1.6.1 kernel module on rh el 6.3. Please put a solution in redhat-rpm-config, so that who builds on rh el 6.3 gets a correct lists of kernel symbols not guaranteed to remain compatible with future updates. Thanks in advance. Gianluca This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If Jon Masters is no longer in charge of redhat-rpm-config, who is the current maintainer? This bug is easy to fix and the issue is clearly addressed here. i encountered this issue,so this is a long history problem. Jon, can you help get this going? Now that /lib/modules/kabi-current is symlinked to ./kabi-rhel6X/ , the proposed patch for find-requires.ksyms seems to be the only viable workaround. Any plan to fix the issue? Yes, we are talking with Panu to see who can review the DUP related patches and merge them. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 842761 *** You have closed this bug as a duplicate of #842761, yet when I try to view the latter I am denied access -- [quote] You are not authorized to access bug #842761.

Description of problem: find-requires.ksyms in RHEL-6.3 (from redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-39.el6) searches for kabi-whitelists into /lib/modules/kabi/ . However, as of 6.3 (kabi-whitelists-20120516-1.el6) they are in /lib/modules/kabi-current/ . As a result, the script issues a warning stating "kernel ABI reference files were not found". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-39.el6 kabi-whitelists-20120516-1.el6 How reproducible: Always (RHEL6.3) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-39.el6 2. Update to kabi-whitelists-20120516-1.el6 3. Build kernel modules Actual results: The following warning is produced: ******************************************************************************** *********************** KERNEL ABI COMPATIBILITY WARNING *********************** ******************************************************************************** The kernel ABI reference files (provided by kabi-whitelists) were not found. No compatibility check was performed. Please install the kABI reference files and rebuild if you would like to verify compatibility with kernel ABI. Expected results: kabi-whitelists are found and no warning is issued. Additional info: A workaround is to create a symlink from /lib/modules/kabi-current to /lib/modules/kabi . Another way to fix is to correct the path in find-requires.ksyms : --- find-requires.ksyms.dist 2012-03-05 23:27:45.000000000 -0800 +++ find-requires.ksyms 2012-07-20 08:02:27.991459268 -0700 @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ check_kabi() { arch=$(uname -m) - kabi_file="/lib/modules/kabi/kabi_whitelist_$arch" + kabi_file="/lib/modules/kabi-current/kabi_whitelist_$arch" # If not installed, output a warning and return (continue) if [ ! -f "$kabi_file" ]; then [Note, however, it will fail with older kabi-whitelists]
