Description tuXXer 2003-04-24 04:22:32 UTC
The command "depmod -a" resolves unsresolved symbols, because the command didn't
find the current System.map. The Proble discovers when installing
svgalib_helper.o. A modules-updates produced a unresolved symbols output,
because this scripts uses "depmod -a". A "depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux-$(uname
-r)/System.map" workds fine => no error messages.

The solution for this problem is a detection of the current System.map:
Comment 1 tuXXer 2003-04-24 04:24:30 UTC
 - /boot/System-$(uname -r).map
 - /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r)/System.map
 - /boot/System.map
 - /usr/src/linux/System.map

aso.

and changing "depmod -a" into "depmod -a -F ${detectedSystemMap}"

works fine here.
