[tosh]

Hello.

I compiled letest 2.6.16 grsecurity snapshot from ~spender/ and got that warning:

Code: Select all

WARNING: /var/tmp/package-kernel-j9nU4b/kernel-2.6.16.2/lib/modules/2.6.16.2-kyuzz-1/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.ko needs unknown symbol cpu_gdt_table

and the apm module refuses to load:

if it begins to complain about cpu_gdt_descr then you'll need both exports, let me know.

The above small patch fixed problem with apm.

Thank you for fast replay and help.
