Description of Problem: In drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/Makefile an object file sym53c8xx.o was renamed to sym53c8xx_2.o (against explicit author wishes - but this is another story) but a Makefile one level above still refers to sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx.o. This hits if one tries to recompile sources in a different configuration where new sym.0.9.0 driver is a built-in instead of a module. If you still want to do renaming an obvious small adjustment in drivers/scsi/Makefile resolves the issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-4
The author can wish what he wants, but modutils simply doesn't allow 2 modules with the same filename.... As for the bug, I'll fix it.
Exactly! AFAIK Gerard Roudier provided this new driver as a replacement and not an alternative. But if you want that other way then do that at least consistently. :-)
