Hi All,
Is there any way to strip symbols from modules .o files ? for example, fat.o has many symbols and when you run `file' command on fat.o - it says that is is not a stripped file. I tried running `strip' command on fat.o and then tried to run insmod on the stripped fat.o and then tried to run insmod on vfat.o. But the insmod on vfat.o generated the "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000" message. If there any way to remove symbols and still load the module successfully and make it work ? Or the problem is with the strip command ? Should I be using something else instead of strip to remove symbols from the module .o ?
I think, I am missing something. But I am not sure.
