From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: Using insmod to install a module does not put the .bss and .sbss symbols in /proc/ksyms. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): modutils-2.4.25-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insmod myModule.o 2. cat /proc/ksyms 3. No .bss symbols are shown... Actual Results: I saw .text etc. symbols, but not .bss or .sbss ones Expected Results: I should have seen the .bss and .sbss symbols Additional info: It's an easy fix! In insmod.c, in the section_names[] array, there is a missing comma between ".bss" and ".sbss".
This probably won't ever be fixed for FC, as FC2 and later need new modutils code for 2.6 kernels. The patch has been sent upstream though - thanks for the report!
