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. ---------------------------------------- net/tux/main.c: In function `tux_chroot': net/tux/main.c:195: warning: implicit declaration of function `chroot' net/tux/main.c:197: warning: implicit declaration of function `chdir' net/tux/extcgi.c: In function `handle_cgi_reply': net/tux/extcgi.c:90: warning: implicit declaration of function `read' net/tux/extcgi.c: In function `exec_external_cgi': net/tux/extcgi.c:278: warning: implicit declaration of function `write' *** Warning: "read" [net/tux/tux.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "chdir" [net/tux/tux.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "write" [net/tux/tux.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "chroot" [net/tux/tux.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "sys_close" [fs/binfmt_misc.ko] undefined!
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. -jef
