Unknown Symbols in drivers

Unknown Symbols in drivers

[Brian D. McGrew]

Good morning,

I've compiled up several different versions of the kernel for a Dell
1800 and a Dell 1600 and I keep seeing many many errors of "Unknown
Symbol" in the drivers ata_piix, mtpscsibase and mptscsih.  What am I
missing here?  Is this a compiler problem or am I doing something
wrong???

Not likely a compiler problem.

We need to see the complete kernel messages when this happens.
That will tell what symbol(s) are missing.

Also what kernel version you are building.
Is it a distro kernel or one that you downloaded from kernel.org?
