Description:   Opened: 2004-10-31 00:43 0000
It is an issue very similar tu bug # 62671, but it affects kernel 2.6.10-rc1.
When I try to modprobe the module there's following error:

macula root # modprobe svgalib_helper 
FATAL: Error inserting svgalib_helper (/lib/modules/2.6.10-rc1/kernel/misc/svgalib_helper.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

relevant part of dmesg is:
svgalib_helper: Unknown symbol devfs_mk_symlink
svgalib_helper: Unknown symbol pci_find_class

Some tests I made:
1) try with 2.6.7 and 2.6.9 kernels (kernel .config are quite the same, ported with make oldconfig, same boot options). works well.
2) tried to add CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to 2.6.10-rc1 as suggested in svgalib maillist:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-svgalib@svgalib.org/msg01029.html
no way
3) recompiled kernel and svgalib without LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" from /etc/make conf
no way
4) commented out the lines in svgalib ebuild to skip svgalib-1.9.19-linux2.6.patch patching step 
no way
at this point I think the solution would be to modify that patch.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot kernel 2.6.10-rc1 
2.modprobe svgalib_helper
3.



Expected Results:  
clean loading of svgalib_helper to have /dev/svga available
