Hi, I posted the message below to comp.os.linux.misc but I didn't get any answer. Does anybody know more about the problem I describe below? Or can anyone point me at the right newsgroup for this question?

But I am getting a strange error message which I also got with 2.0.31 and not with any lower 2.0.x kernel. I am using modules for most drivers. Only drivers that are needed at boot time, like ide and ext2fs, are compiled-in. I use kerneld to load the modules automatically. I have been doing that succesfully for a long time. The problem is with the 3c509 driver. I have a 3COM 3c509 card and an El Cheapo NE2000 clone, which have always worked flawlessly. The relevant lines in /etc/conf.modules are: alias eth0 3c509 alias eth1 ne options 3c509 io=0x300 options ne io=0x280 I supplied the 'io' parameters because /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt says that probing for these cards is unreliable. Now, when I boot a 2.0.31 or 2.0.32 kernel, I get this error message when kerneld tries to load the 3c509 driver: symbol for parameter io not found and in the syslog there is a line: Nov 20 04:17:40 blaakmeer insmod: /lib/modules/2.0.32/net/3c509.o: symbol for parameter io not found I have discovered that removing the 'options' line for the 3c509 solves the problem, but I can't find any documentation describing this change in behaviour. Does anybody know what's wrong? Remco -------------------- end of message -------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
