Hi,

I'm experiencing an annoying problem with the 2.6.8 kernel on my system. I'm
running the Debian "sarge" distribution, and upgrraded from the 2.4.27
kernel to the 2.6.8 kernel. The system works fine, however I get the
following "error" on boot:

Nov 5 00:43:38 localhost kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.8
Nov 5 00:43:39 localhost kernel: Loaded 26064 symbols from
/boot/System.map-2.6.8.
Nov 5 00:43:39 localhost kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.6.8.
Nov 5 00:43:39 localhost kernel: Noo module symbols loaded - kernel modules
not enabled.

I can load modules, all modules in the kernel work, I can't explain this
error. Even when I install a standard Debian 2.6.8 kernel I get the same. I
have support for modules in the kernel, my system.map matches the kernel,
/proc/kallsyms looks ok, so why do I get this message? I know it is issues
by klogd, I changed the error message in ksym_mod.c temporarily to make
sure.
Changing back t the 2.4.7 kernel, it loads ok:

Oct 22 21:33:59 localhost kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.4.27-1-386
Oct 22 21:34:00 localhost kernel: Loaded 18229 symbols from
/boot/System.map-2.4.27-1-386.
Oct 22 21:34:00 localhost kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.4.27.
Oct 22 21:34:00 localhost kernel: Loaded 780 symbols from 28 modules.

I've been looking fr why this happens for about a week now, but I can't
really find any relevant info on the net. some info pointed me to the change
from /proc/ksyms to /proc/kallsyms, but nothing tangible. Anybody out there
who know why tis happens?

Thanks,
Ferd

Did you upgrade the module tools?

The 2.6 kernels use a newer set of module tools than 2.4.

Yep, changed to the init-module-tools from modutils.
