Hello all,

If someone has Debian, please contact me personally. I do not know why, but
I still have unresolved symbols in all modules. I have deleted the kernel
source + System.[map|old] + vmlinuz[.old], cvs update, cp -Rd linux /usr/src/,
mv linux linux-2.4.2-XFS etc.
After make install, 'ls -l /boot':
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 MÁR  6 20:09 System.map -> 
System.map-2.4.2-XFS
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       269967 DEC 25 15:54 System.map-2.2.18pre21
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       405781 MÁR  6 20:09 System.map-2.4.2-XFS
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 MÁR  6 20:09 vmlinuz -> 
vmlinuz-2.4.2-XFS
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       985303 DEC 25 15:54 vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       703718 MÁR  6 20:09 vmlinuz-2.4.2-XFS
(Well, I just realized it does not have +x, but ...)

The directory /lib/modules/2.4.2-XFS exists and contains the modules.
Result -> unresolved symbols, even printk, which is such basic like the air
for us (imho).
Then, I unpacked the original kernel source, copied .config into it, and
built the kernel and booted without problems. :-0 What can it be?
I could 'tight it down' to this: /var/log/kern.log
Mar  6 20:06:50 esparrall kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map
Mar  6 20:06:51 esparrall kernel: Loaded 14344 symbols from /boot/System.map.
Mar  6 20:06:51 esparrall kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.4.2.
                                  ^-- It should be 2.4.2-XFS, should not be?
Mar  6 20:06:51 esparrall kernel: No module symbols loaded.
                                  ^-- Any reason for that?
Mar  6 20:06:51 esparrall kernel: Linux version 2.4.2-XFS (root@esparrall)

For the original kernel it is different:
Mar  6 20:14:42 esparrall kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map
Mar  6 20:14:43 esparrall kernel: Loaded 14029 symbols from /boot/System.map.
Mar  6 20:14:43 esparrall kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.4.2.
Mar  6 20:14:43 esparrall kernel: Loaded 201 symbols from 7 modules.
Mar  6 20:14:43 esparrall kernel: Linux version 2.4.2 (root@esparrall)

Modutils is version 2.4.2.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Laszlo
Ps:Previously I had the same problem, but somewhen it began working, and I
did not care. But now it is the same, and I am very curious...
