Bug 145099 – sparc-sources-2.4.32-r6 - Failed Module Build of smbfs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Wharmby 2006-08-25 12:40:34 UTC]

Compiling smbfs as a module with the sparc-sources-2.4.32-r6 results in a missing dependency (I think!).  The last couple of lines of output are:
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.32-sparc-r6; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /libs/modules/2.4.32-sparc-r6/kernel/fs/smbfs/sbmfs.o
depmod          memchr

This is achieved when compiling with GCC 3.4.5.

I found this error on an Ultra1 Enterprise and on an Ultra1 Creator3D.  I believe there is a kernel patch which has been implemented as of kernel 2.4.33.

Compiling smb FS support into the kernel rather than as a module is a workaround, but its not ideal!

This is fixed in sparc-sources-2.4.33.2.
