Bug 43251 – Kernel 2.6.3-gentoo-r2 fails modules_install with: WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.3-gentoo-r2/kernel/crypto/ucl.ko needs unknown symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adrian Head 2004-02-28 22:16:27 UTC]

When compiling the 2.6.3-r2 kernel it fails because of missing symbols in the kernel module ucl.ko

I've tried this a couple of times now with the same results.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge gentoo-dev-sources
2.  mount /boot; cd /usr/src;  ln -sf linux-2.6.3-r2 linux; cd linux; make mrproper
2.  make oldconfig && make bzImage modules modules_install install
3.

Actual Results:  
  INSTALL drivers/net/tun.ko 
  INSTALL crypto/twofish.ko 
  INSTALL crypto/ucl.ko 
  INSTALL fs/udf/udf.ko 
  INSTALL drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko 
  INSTALL drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko 
  INSTALL drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko 
  INSTALL fs/vfat/vfat.ko 
  INSTALL drivers/i2c/chips/w83781d.ko 
  INSTALL drivers/i2c/chips/w83l785ts.ko 
  INSTALL net/xfrm/xfrm_user.ko 
  INSTALL fs/xfs/xfs.ko 
  INSTALL lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.ko 
  INSTALL lib/zlib_inflate/zlib_inflate.ko 
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.6.3-gentoo-r2; fi 
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.3-gentoo-r2/kernel/crypto/ucl.ko needs unknown 
symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ 
 

Expected Results:  
Completed the modules install and successfully complete the depmod.

Config file for kernel

This is my config file for the kernel.

Just noticed that 2.6.3-gentoo-r2 has been replaced with 2.6.4-gentoo-r1 so I'll close this bug now.... as it doesn't relate to the new gentoo-dev-sources.
