CRC value for a symbol in Module.symvers is zero

776 Views Asked by At

I am novice to the kernel programming and coding drivers. I have made certain changes in an IPMI driver which exports a symbol. The config option CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y is turned on. But the CRC value in Module.symvers for the particular symbol is 0x00000000 which leads an error while inserting the module.

Could someone please explain where I can look into, to resolve this problem?

I get the following warning while I make the kernel:

WARNING: "vMC_alloc_sel_record" [drivers/char/ipmi/vmc.ko] has no CRC!

Error while inserting the module:

vmc: no symbol version for vMC_alloc_sel_record
vmc: Unknown symbol vMC_alloc_sel_record
0
