Description of problem: /sbin/weak-modules fails to handle inter-module symbol references. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.16.0.1.el5 How reproducible: grab xenpv-kmod packages from http://devserv.devel.redhat.com/~ghoffman/brew/rhel51-xen/$arch/, install them. Actual results: Only xen-platform-pci.ko gets symlinked into weak-symbols Expected results: all xen-*.ko modules get symlinked into weak-symbols Additional info: xen-platform-pci.ko provides symbols referenced by the other modules.
Bug is in the module_is_compatible() function. modprobe prints 8-char-wide crc's. nm dumps 16-char-wide addresses. thus they don't look identical to the join utility. Probably happens on x86_64 only.
