[OpenAFS-devel] RedHat 8 weirdness

[Mike Dopheide]

I'm encountering a problem compiling a libafs module for RedHat's latest 
kernel (2.4.18-19.8.0).  I'm working with openafs-1.2.8-rh8.0.1.

On one RedHat 8 workstation I'm able to compile everything just fine and 
it works perfectly (running kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0).  However, on another 
system I'm setting up (running kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0smp) the configure 
fails to find kallsyms_address_to_symbol:

checking for exported sys_call_table... no
checking for exported kallsyms_symbol_to_address... no
checking for exported kallsyms_address_to_symbol... no
checking for exported init_mm... no
configure: error: no available sys_call_table access method

Is there something different about the smp kernels that would cause the 
kallsyms_address_to_symbol test to fail?  Or is there (hopefully) 
something else in my environment I can change to make it work?

Thanks,
Mike
