    Unhappy insmod: unresolved symbols

    Hi:

    I'm using Linux kernel 2.4.26 on mpc8280. I have written a drvice driver (a C program split-up in multiple files in a folder) and complied successfully. When I try to load this kernel module using insmod,

    # insmod -o ima_cfg /mnt/nfs/ima_cfg.o
    Using /mnt/nfs/ima_cfg.o
    insmod: unresolved symbol Init_int_queue

    I've defined the function Init_int_queue in a different C file(other than ima_cfg.c) and the header is inclued in the ima_cfg.c. If I include this function in the ima_cfg.c file I donot get this error.

    In the /proc/ksyms I donot see the Init_int_queue's address, since its not built in the kernel.

    Can anyone please let me know how can I resolve this problem and insmod a driver, which has functions defined in multiple files.

    Thanks.

    simply you have to compile both source files and then link them together into one
    kernel module.
