After applying the patch, enabling ucl as a module, recompiling, rebooting and modprobing the module failed to load. The following message was found in my dmesg. ucl: Unknown symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. patch -p1 < /usr/share/gcloop/gcloop-2.6-20040527.patch 2. make all modules_install install && reboot 3. modprobe ucl Actual Results: FATAL: Error inserting ucl (/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r7/kernel/crypto/ucl.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Expected Results: loads Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11-gentoo-r7 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r7 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-pipe -O3 -march=k8" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-pipe -O3 -march=k8" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt curl dvd encode esd fam flac foomaticdb fortran gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg libvisual libwww lzw lzw-tiff mad motif mp3 mpeg multilib ncurses network nls ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl softmmu speex spell sqlite ssl tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales vorbis xine xml xml2 xmms xpm xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
You did apply a patch yourself, i.e., the patch is not in included in a kernel from portage tree? If so, then I don't see why are you filing a bug with Gentoo.
Becuase the patch, as indicted by qpkg -f /usr/share/gcloop/gcloop-2.6-20040527.patch, is part of the gcloop ebuild.
