Hi,

I've been having a problem with unresolved symbols the last few days
that's driving me crazy:  all my modules have unresolved symbols.  The
only things that I know to do about this are to run 'make mrproper' before
compiling and to remove /lib/modules/x.x.xx/ before issuing 'make
modules_config'.  I've done both and still no luck.  Is there anything
else that I need to do?

My temporary solution to this has been to compile everything statically,
however I do like to have sound as a module.  Here is what depmod says:

$ sudo depmod -ae
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-pre11/kernel/drivers/sound/es1370.o
depmod:  	kernel_flag_cacheline
depmod: 	synchronize_irq

$ sudo depmod -ae -F /boot/System.map
$

The output of the second command troubles me.  Is depmod looking at the
wrong System.map?  (I don't keep a System.map in / .)

I'm running Debian SID with kernel 2.4.20-pre11
and insmod version 2.4.19

Any thoughts?
