OT: Kernel Compile And Module Dependancy Problems

OT: Kernel Compile And Module Dependancy Problems

[Luke Davis]

I have been running on 2.4.20 for some time.

I just modified my .config, by removing some sections and options, and
having make oldconfig fill in the blanks.
All goes well with the compile:

make clean
make mrproper
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

No problems.  Then, I run:

update-modules

and get:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/sg.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/sr_mod.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/net/8021q/8021q.o

This didn't used to happen, prior to the last bout of config changes.
I tried configuring with and without modversions set and not, with no
difference.

Probably not enough information, but what are thoughts?

Thanks

Luke

You've got that backwards.  Make mrproper wipes out your .config and
should be executed before anything else.

a couple of slackware questions.Re: OT: Kernel Compile And Module Dependancy Problems

I have a couple of slackware questions.  First, when I try to play a cd in
slackware 9.0 or even mount the cd rom drive with an audio cd in it, I get
an error that the file type isn't supported.  Also, I can't telnet into the
box from another machine anymore.  I tried using workbone to play the cd,
but I know that didn't work as speakup has the numpad keys, but I still am
curious why I can't telnet into the box now... any help would be welcome.

First, you don't mount an audio CD to play it.  second, you can use
Workbone by either turning on the numlock, or using the numbers on the
main keyboard.

As for using telnet, you would have to uncomment the entry for telnet in
/etc/inetd.conf, then send the inetd process a hangup signal to make it
re-read the file.  Slackware commented it out by default as of 8.1.  You
can still use SSH which is more secure anyway.

Hi.
If you run speakup 1.5 If I remember correctly you can turn on numlock and
use the numpad.

Have you looked at /etc/inetd.conf to see if the telnet line is commented?

You should use the program workbone or some other audio CD player to play
the CD. You do not mount audio CD's. Workbone has some problems because of
the speakup key map, but you can use it in non-interactive mode. See the man
page for the arguments to pass to it.

As for your telnet problem, telnet is disabled by default in Slackware 9.0.
(Is it in 8.1? I can't remember.) Anyway, you willneed to uncomment the line
in inetd.conf if you want telnet access. I'd recommend instead that you use
ssh.

[seth creature]

Thank you both for your answers, man they were quick too!  I'll do that.
I'm still pretty new it all this, but I just got an old pentium 100 with 16
megs ram on it, not much, but it had winblows 98 on it, so this was the
first time I installed slackware on a non-winblows partitioa. Thanks  again
for answering a beginner's question... there'll be more soon.  Cheereo!

Perhapse I should do things differently, but it is not impossible to
mount an audio cd. I got the cdfs patch for my kernel, and it allows you
to mount audio cd's and use any wave player to play the tracks. I did
this because I was lazy and didn't want to open up my case and play
guess and check plugging my cdrom into my sound card. I believe you can
find the patch at cdfs.sourceforge.net, but I am not sure.

well I guess I got it really easy...my cdrom drive has a button to play a cd
on it...as long as I have it hooked into my audio card I just press the
button and it plays. It's kind of anoying to keep reaching down to change
tracks but that's why I don't use it. workbone is fine for this.
