When booting off the kickstart floppy, I am presented with a list of network
drivers. I choose the Interl Pro/1000 Driver and I get:

undefined symbols on tty3

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.follow http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/e1000
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  undefined symbols

Expected Results:  e1000 module to load

Additional info:

How does one go about getting e1000 driver support for kickstart installations?

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2003-01-15 00:12:08 EST

If you get unresolved symbols, you didn't rebuild the driver against the same
kernel.

Comment 2 Ray Parish 2003-01-15 09:36:01 EST

Can you please tell me how to get the BOOT kernel source?
I installed the kernel-2.4.8-3BOOT, and booted to it. I have the
kernel-source-2.4.8-3, which i compiled the module against.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2003-01-22 01:04:57 EST

Please see the driver disk development kit at http://people.redhat.com/~dledford/
