From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-5 i686) Description of problem: While checking module dependencies athlon variant of the kernel 2.4.3-5 complains about unresolved symbols in toshiba.o. Not sure if i686 does that too. Also, my Viper chipset has been blacklisted for usb-uhci.o which fails to load and complains about it. I hope this is no mistake, because that never happened with 2.4.2-2 and earlier. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Booting 2.4.3-5.athlon on Viper chipset 2. 3. Additional info:
Regarding the toshiba module: That module is disabled in the .config of the athlon kernel, and should therefore not be in the RPM. Could you see with rpm -qf <filename> which rpm owns that file ? Regarding the chipset blacklist: AMD has confirmed the chip doesn't work and corrupts data if used.
I assume toshiba.o wasn't removed during update from i686 type to athlon one of the same 2.4.3-5. I used rpm -Uvh --ignorearch --force. This was the only option combination which worked. Without --force I just received tons on errors and failure. It's too bad that such switching between kernels is so painful. BTW, I think it makes sense to use /lib/modules/2.4.3-5.athlon and /lib/modules/2.4.3-5.i686 to avoid conflicts and allow people to have both versions at the same time.
