I recently patched my kernel to 1.3.23. Without modules,
it compiles and runs OK. Compiling with module support
works, and the modules compile allright too, but I
can't seem to load any filesystem module. Does
anyone else have this problem?

AFAIK these are bad_user_access_length and dump_fpu (this only for the elf-
binary-format). Isolved this problem in that way, that I edited ksyms.c
in /usr/src/linux/kernel. I added asm/segment.h , linux/user.h, the
definition for dump_fpu and after the start of symbol_table the lines
X(bad_user_access_length) and X(dump_fpu). Can someone explain why this
is not done before ? Personally, I think noone of the kernel developers
use gcc 2.5.8.....

That's just my problem: insmod won't work!

By the way. With the new kernels you can decide in the
make config "Dialog" what You want as module. Has someone hints for
creating a "sound.o" module?

This is not a supported method but it should work. At least I have
used it successfully in the current (unreleased) version of the sound
driver.

1) recompile Linux with sound driver disabled and reboot.
2) cd linux/drivers/sound
3) Edit Makefile and add the following lines to it:

CC = gcc
HOSTCC = gcc
CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -m486

4) make config
5) make dep
6) make sound.o

7) Move sound.o to a directory used by insmod
(usually /lib/modules/misc).

8) insmod sound

I hope this helps,

Funny you should say that, because I seem to have one spare. Do you want it?

Does anyone know how to *stop* sound.o compiling as a module when I have it
built into the main kernel? I don't know if it is recompiling the files but
it still copies it to /lib/modules.
