kernel upgrade and "unresolved symbols"

[Chatterjee]

I've got an ESS Solo-1.

I updated my kernel to 2.4.8 and streamlined the Sound section (in xconfig) to only include the ESS Solo-1 module (and that's all I enabled as a module as well as general Sound support at the top of that section)

So after all the rest of kernel updating, I reboot and try to insmod the esssolo1.o module and get the following errors:

esssolo1.o: unresolved symbol gameport_unregister_port_Rsmp_b8ce4307
esssolo1.o: unresolved symbol gameport_register_port_Rsmp_f891976c

how do I get rid of these?

Could it be you also need gameport support selected when compiling the kernel?

The ESS module may be looking for the gameport module when loading. Just a guess...

[Chatterjee]

hmm... you could be right... which section would that be under (in the xconfig)

Wait a minute...

Try modprobe instead of insmod. If that doesn't work, then try the kernel again.

In Character Devices I believe.
