I currently have module-init-tools 0.9.4 installed, but module loading complains about an invalid relocation type 6. Using objdump on a module shows that the module is not linked as a dynamic object file (objdump -R complains), but still contains static relocation entries (objdump -r is not empty). On the other hand the arch/alpha/kernel/module.c code looks almost the same as the 2.5.50 code + rth patch which required dynamic objects for modules. So either there still is a problem with the Makefiles or module.c fails to handle all required relocation types for the Alpha platform. I have a working 2.5.50 with module-init-tools 0.9.1 + rth patches with modules working and here objdump -R shows dynamic relocation entries for the modules and objdump -r is empty. modprobe tmsisa module tmsisa: Unknown relocation: 6 objdump -R /lib/modules/2.5.52bk4/kernel/drivers/net/tokenring/tmsisa.ko /lib/modules/2.5.52bk4/kernel/drivers/net/tokenring/tmsisa.ko: file format elf64-alpha objdump: /lib/modules/2.5.52bk4/kernel/drivers/net/tokenring/tmsisa.ko: not a dynamic object objdump: /lib/modules/2.5.52bk4/kernel/drivers/net/tokenring/tmsisa.ko: Invalid operation objdump -r /lib/modules/2.5.52bk4/kernel/drivers/net/tokenring/tmsisa.ko /lib/modules/2.5.52bk4/kernel/drivers/net/tokenring/tmsisa.ko: file format elf64-alpha RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]: OFFSET TYPE VALUE 0000000000000000 GPDISP .text+0x0000000000000004 000000000000000c ELF_LITERAL alpha_mv ... 000000000000089c LITUSE .init.text+0x0000000000000003 000000000000089c HINT printk 00000000000008a0 GPDISP .init.text+0x0000000000000004 ...
