Description Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2001-05-17 21:34:25 UTC
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.

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-18 07:47:25 UTC
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.

Comment 2 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2001-05-21 06:47:57 UTC
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.
