2.4.16, 8139too not loadable as a module - unresolved symbols

2.4.16, 8139too not loadable as a module - unresolved symbols

The same kernel, with the only config change being "y" instead of "m"
for 8139too, works fine, and the network interface is useable.

Did I do something wrong?

Greetings
Marc

maybe you did, works fine for me as a module, although this driver
doesn't want to compile with gcc 3.0.x (as said in another thread a few
days ago).

did you do the _full_ recompile of the kernel? (cp .config /tmp;make
mrproper;cp /tmp/.config .;make oldconfig dep install modules_install)
or did you just make modules modules_install after changing the config?

I am using Debian's kernel-package [1], and did the usual procedure for
both kernels, that I usually do:
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=3:today.0 build
fakeroot debian/rules kernel-image-deb

This procedure has resulted in a useable kernel .deb package for the
last 18 months, and has resulted in a useable kernel .deb package for
2.4.16 with non-modularized 8139too.

[1] which provides a comfortable way to produce self-contained .deb
packages including maintainer scripts that take care of modules,
System.map and the boot loader, from vanilla kernel sources. I repeat:
Using kernel package does not mean that vendor kernel sources are
used, the kernels are built with vanilla kernels from kernel.org.

Just for the record, my fault was not having modutils installed when I
built the kernel in a chroot. The kernel-image-deb step threw an
error, so I installed modutils and repeated that step which resulted
in an unuseable kernel.

A more in-depth investigation showed that the missing modutils had an
influence on the kernel build process that did not make it fail.
Repeating the whole process starting with the first step with modutils
installed resulted in a kernel with useable 8139too driver.
