Distribution:From the Kernel.org FTP Site Hardware Environment:AMD K6-2 500 256MB System RAM 30GB HDD SystemFormat reiserfs bare.i Kernel 2.4.29 Software Environment:Slackware 10.1 -current Problem Description:Breaks Modules, does not allow system to properly make modules_install after make command is initiated. intermodule.c Lists Void and const void, and any modules made are not loaded properly. Steps to reproduce: Install Slackware 10.1 Fresh FTP from kernel.org the latest Build 2.6.11.7 On my system I setup to no SMP and the AMD K6 processor. Disabled IEEE1394 as it's not installed Disabled ACPI as it's disabled in My BIOS Anything not on the system is disabled. No IEEE1394 No SCIS EG AHA 2940 AHA 1542B or DTC or anything that resembles an SCSI Adaptor. Diables. Modules Created are Sound Ext2 - Ext3 No other Modules runs make runs make install runs make modules_install copies BzImage/VmLinuz - Ststem.map to /boot edits Lilo to reflect changes, eg VmLinuz-2.6.11.7 Linux 2 - System-2.6.11.7 Linux 2 When rebooting, something changes around the files, and still shows a Linux 2.4.29 loder. I have the read me, and several other sources of instruction on how to make this happen. This is consistant and in 3 weeks has not changed.
Nothing to do with me. The problem description is very confusing. Part of it talks about module loading 2.6.11 in kernels - 2.6 module loading is Rusty's problem, not mine. The rest of the problem talks about being unable to switch lilo from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels - I do not support lilo.
Ok, well can you send this to Rusty and ask about the intermodule.c file, it seems to come up with 3 warnings of being Depreciated. From each Interm Release Linux 2.6.11.5 Linux 2.6.11.6 and Linux 2.6.11.7. It has not veared from the warnings, and once I tried taking off the Module information and a lot of selections vanished, because no modules were allowed to be created. This is a serious issue and should be dealt with.
Rusty knows that inter_module_* is deprecated, he made the change. We are waiting for one last user of inter_module_* to be recoded then the functions will be deleted. The messages are just warnings, and have no effect at all on whatever problem you are really hitting. Unfortunately you have provided no useful data on your real problem. I am rejecting this bug, it contaions no useful data.
