Bug 38893 – ntfs module fails to load

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bryan Higgins 2004-01-20 22:36:42 UTC]

Loading the ntfs module gives "unresolved symbol __mark_dirty" and module fails to load.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a kernel with NTFS as a module
2. modprobe ntfs
3.

Actual Results:  
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o: unresolved symbol __mark_dirty
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o: insmod ntfs failed


Expected Results:  
Module should load.

gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r6
ntfs 2.1.4b

copy your .config out of your kernel src dir, then run make distclean, then copy your .config back, and rebuild

I'm afraid that didn't solve the problem.

[Comment 3 Bryan Higgins 2004-01-20 23:43:27 UTC]

By the way, typo above. It's gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5, not r6.

[Comment 4 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) 2004-01-21 00:09:33 UTC]

build it in for now, I'll look into it for -r6

Does this happen with newer kernels? Have you tried updating?

Moving on. Bug has expired.
