wow.. My system didn't boot up right (modules didn't load) I recompiled the kernel with gcc 3.4.1 :( (I think I also checked the 3 register ABI option, but that has worked a few times with gcc 3.4.dated) so.. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.. I also used genkernel.. 3.0.2c Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I just ran: cp -i /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/awk/fixlafiles.awk /lib/rcscripts/awk/ and bash-2.05b# /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/fix_libtool_files.sh 3.4.0 which might fix everything... but don't hold your breath..
ok, after that fun lib tool stuff, and recompiling module-init-tools.. lsmod and modprobe work.. Just want to let a few people know that... (I put it under gcc-porting because.. that's the only masked thing that I'm playing with now)
remerge modutils...
Yep, I already did that (module-init-tools, actually), and it fixed the QM_MODULES problem. But it would be nice to have a way for that problem to not happen in the first place. I've got some other SCSI-related issues with unknown symbols lingering, but that's off-topic.
