Description of problem: SCSI driver modules have this unfortunate habit that they do '#include "scsi_module.c"'. For example, in /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-1.6_FC2/drivers/scsi there is 58 .c file with that line. So one could reasonably expect that various "external" drivers for such devices will repeat that pattern. Here is the catch; if you will do for such driver something like: make CFLAGS=... -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules with CFLAGS set as required, then on FC3 this fails because "scsi_module.c" (really an include file) is nowhere to be found while it truly should sit under ../build/driver/scsi/. A driver _could_ supply its own copy of scsi_module.c but there is no guarantee that this will not get later out of sync and, besides, it is not likely to be there as so far such extra copy was not ever needed. Just to be sure we are talking here about a GPL code. I have no idea of other subsystems are doing a similar trickery. Got hit on SCSI. :-)
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
I have no idea why this shows twice. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 140421 ***
