the CIFS source and everything went smoothly up until "make modules". At that
point something weird happened; gcc started throwing all kinds of compiler
errors in kernel.h. I also got the raw kernel source from kernel.org and did
the same procedure only this time the module compiled successfully. That won't
do me any good however because the kernel version has to match Red Hat's and it
complains about an unresolved symbol. Any ideas about why this doesn't work?
I attached the captured output of make modules. Somebody has to have gotten
cifs working on RHEL3 by now.
you seem to do something VERY wrong. You do not need "make modules" or
*anything* like that to build external modules. In fact, you shouldn't
do a SINGLE thing inside the kernel source tree from the rpm. at all...
if you do things go really wrong.
