Adolfo, I am not certain about the cause of your problem. The unresolved symbol is a versioned one (the _R94d0d943) and therefore must be exported by the kernel. However, if the running kernel and the source (as configured) don't match this is just the kind of thing one could expect to happen. Just for a sanity check, please ensure that "uname -r" says "2.4.21-20.EL", and tell me what "grep irq_stat /boot/System.map" yields. If I can get a hold of the sources for the kernel in question (please do *NOT* e-mail them to me), I should be able to see if there is something wierd in BLCR. Could you point me an an ftp or http download site for the kernel source (I assume EL is RedHat Enterprise Linux, but I don't know which release). It is also possible that this is a variation of bug 466 in which the kernel is not using versioned symbols but kernel modules are. If so, the grep output requested above will prove it. -Paul Adolfo J.
