From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: Configuring ide support as modules results in a circular dependency list ide-core depends on ide-detect and ide-detect depends on ide-core. depmod reports these symbols undefined in ide-core/System.map: [root@celerons linux]# /sbin/depmod -ae -F ./System.map 2.4.22-1.2174.nptlcustom depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2174.nptlcustom/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o depmod: init_cmd640_vlb depmod: ide_wait_hwif_ready depmod: ide_probe_for_drive depmod: ide_probe_reset depmod: ide_tune_drives Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.22-1.2174 (only kernel source on your ftp site) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.make xconfigure 2.choose 'm' for ide, ata, atapi support 3.make clean dep bzImage modules modules_install Actual Results: depmod reports undefined symbols Expected Results: no output from depmod Additional info: Most modern sound cards need the alsa sound system. Alsa requires kernel *SOURCE* in order to install. There is no source on the CDs and only this one broken (and different version from the binaries) version on your web site. Streams drivers (LiS) also need source, making my telephony applications unusable until I come up with a buildable kernel. Until then, I'll continue using 7.3.
2.4.22 doesn't support entirely modular IDE, either in Fedora or upstream. The kernel source and patches and build scripts are all in the kernel srpm package, if you want to add other patches on top and rebuild to match the Fedora kernel.
This *IS* a bug, and there are three possible actions: 1. Make it work. (Best) 2. Disable modular IDE in xconfig/menuconfig/etc (Worst) 3. set the status to "CLOSED WONT FIX" and hope later kernels do support it. (Most likely)
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
