> dmesg reveals: > module xfs relocation of symbol $$divU is out of range (0x3ffefffd in > 17 bits) $$divU is a millicode routine. There are special limitations on branch distances for millicode. If this was userspace, $$divU would be linked into the module and stubs would handle out of range branches. Millicode symbols are forced local so they can appear in more than one module. The above message suggests that the millicode library isn't being linked with kernel modules and that the symbol is being resolved by the kernel itself. I could be all wet about this though... The fix in this case is probably to build the module into the kernel. Dave -- J. David Anglin [email protected] National Research Council of Canada (613) 990-0752 (FAX: 952-6602)
