insmod parport.o
parport.o: unresolved symbol proc_dointvec_minmax_Rsmp_e014086a
parport.o: unresolved symbol proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax_Rsmp_cef1719b
parport.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sysctl_table_Rsmp_1a33a4a0

Is this issue with sparc-sources?

Comment 3 Geordon Marchak 2004-06-20 13:13:51 UTC

This is the module for parport support compiled from sparc kernel sources.   Interestingly, I found that the same module failed when using AMD kernels
on an Athlon chip, but works fine on intel compiled kernels on P3's.

Can you try sparc-sources-2.4.26 please and see if you get it with that?
