Description Nicolai Langfeldt 2003-08-19 15:29:07 UTC 
kernel/printk.c does not export release_console_sem.  This stops us from using
radeonfb as a module.

To fix, insert

EXPORT_SYMBOL(release_console_sem);

at line 540 of the file.  acquire_console_sem is exported...

Now, let's hope the kernel boots :-)

Regards,
  Nicolai

Assigning to the new kernel dev.

Do you still need this fix or have you upgraded to 2.4.22-r1?
Comment 3 Nicolai Langfeldt 2004-01-02 11:09:44 UTC 
Yes, I'm at 2.4.22 now. Thanks, Nicolai
