Compile a kernel, with or without Debian's make-kpkg package is easier then it sounds but you will still need to devote some time to it, especially since you are doing it for the first time. However you might consider using the same kernel configuration that your Debian image uses but without the a.out module together with make-kpkg. Hopefully this will let you to enroll a custom kernel easily. Although I am not sure I believe that the fact that there should be a binfmt_aout module is hard coded in the kernel. Therefore I believe you want be able to completely get away of this by not compiling a new kernel. However, since a.out format is not used much as far as I know you might simply disregard it. I am also not sure that the problem with this module is what keeps you from loading other modules. What happens when you are trying to insmod some module which is not loaded? BTW: What are the EDA tools? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Shaul Karl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Jim Sytniak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> > Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 5:10 AM > Subject: Re: Unresolved symbols in binfmt_aout.o > > > > As a last resort you might compile it in (as opposed to being a module). > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ---- > > > > > > Shaul Karl, [EMAIL PROTECTED] e t > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
