Description of problem: # depmod -e -F /boot/System.map-2.6.5-1.308smp WARNING:/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.308smp/unsupported/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko needs unknown symbol sleep_on Messages like that show up also during a kernel installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.308, kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.308
Same problem in 2.6.5-1.309
The .315 kernel does the same thing. Problem still exists when trying to recompile the kernel.
I had this problem when installing 2.6.5-1.308smp and the up kernel also. There was no grub entry made and the intird was not created for either kernel. After I manually entered the kernel entries for the 2.6.5-1.308smp kernel and ran mkintrd for both kernels, they loaded and seemed to function alright. This failure seems that it bails out after the reiserfs error (I am not using a reiserfs on this particular installation.) I would expect the reiserfs error would not stop the kernel from being installed and from creating grub entries and an intird image. I would expect a warning message regarding the error and letting the installer keep on track. Jim
I see no references to using vmware when encountering this problem. I am running vmware 4.5.1 on an xp operating system. Is this problem common on a regular installation or just using vmware installations?
I have not been able to compile any of Fedora's 2.6.5 kernels due to the same reason. Simple inspection shows that ReiserFS' journal.c references sleep_on(), while it is not included in sched.c. I can, however, compile a "vanilla" 2.6.5 kernel (with the same configuration) due to a different sched.c provided there.
I tried to mount my reiserfs volume on another computer that contains a Fedora Core 1 installation. When I tried to mount the volume, as root, I received the following error. mount: fs type reiserfs not supported by kernel. The kernel version is 2.6.5-1.315.
