Re: unresolved symbols hcfusbengine on ibook g4 kernel 2.6.7 debian

Hi,

the source of this problem is the following error message in your 'dmesg':

---
hcfusbosspec: Unknown symbol waitpid
---

Normally, this problem should be fixed with the version of the HCF USB 
driver package you are using. You could try this workaround to fix the 
problem by editing the file '/usr/lib/hcfusbmodem/modules/osservices.c' 
and change at line 678:

---
#ifndef __x86_64__
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 8))
static inline _syscall3(pid_t,waitpid,pid_t,pid,int *,wait_stat,int,options)
#endif
---

to

---
#ifndef __x86_64__
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 7))
static inline _syscall3(pid_t,waitpid,pid_t,pid,int *,wait_stat,int,options)
#endif
---

then re-compile the HCF USB driver modules with the 'hcfusbconfig -k' 
command in a root shell.

Alternatively, you could try with a newer kernel from 
http://www.kernel.otg to see if there is a difference.
