From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-10 i686) Description of problem: On my Linux box with RedHat 6.2 (kernel 2.2.14-5.0) I have upgraded the kernel (2.2.19-12). All is OK when i reboot. Then I have modified my kernel configuration (make menuconfig) and relink the kernel. When I reboot, during the initialization there are a lot of 'unresolved symbol' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On RedHat 6.2 with kernel 2.2.14-5.0 upgrade the kernel # rpm -Uvh kernel-headers-2.2.19-6.2.12.i386.rpm \ kernel-source-2.2.19-6.2.12.i386.rpm # rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.19-6.2.12.i386.rpm I have modified '/etc/lilo.conf'. And then: # /etc/lilo -v When I reboot all function OK. Now I have tried to modify the kernel: # cd /usr/src/linux # cp /usr/src/linux/config/kernel-2.2.19-i386.config . # make menuconfig # make dep # make bzImage # make modules # make modules_install # cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage \ /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-6.2.12 Modified '/etc/lilo.conf' # /etc/lilo -v 2. 3. Actual Results: When I reboot during the initialization there are a lot of unresolved symbol ......(name of modules). All the devices the use modules doesn't function (ex. eth0) Additional info:
make modules_install -> this will install your modules but will not remove existing ones from the installed kernel with the same version...... and those will not load since they are for a different kernel hence the unresolved symbols.
OK. 'modules_install' install my new modules but doesn't remove the existing one. So what I have to do ? Don't execute modules_install or execute another command ?
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
