| |
Hi,
From kernel version 2.1.23 I could not load the ide-probe module. The error shown was something like: unknown symbol: drive_info.
Grepping through the patches did lead to these parts of ksyms.c from the linux/kernel dir:
#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD) extern struct drive_info_struct drive_info; #endif
and
#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD) EXPORT_SYMBOL(drive_info); #endif
The two defines are not defined if the whole ide subsystem is compiled as a module. (I did look in my .config !!) In my .config I saw the definition of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODULE. So I appended this after the #if line: || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODULE) And it works. I was not to suprised as the line changed from #ifdef __i386__ or something similar to the above mentioned.
Sorry that I don't provide something like a patch or so as I'm not at home now writing this message.
Good luck,
Jan Kees Joosse
Ps. Otherwise 2.1.25 works like a charm for me.
