[DRBD-user] RPM building problem

Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


I'm sorry, it seems by the archive that a lot of people have trouble
building RPMs from DRBD, and I'm one of those. I searched the list
archives for answer but didn't find anything sufficent.

The context is : I try to package DRBD as an RPM (0.6.13) to go with
standard RedHat 9's kernel 2.4.20-8.

I installed the kernel sources through the package
kernel-2.4.20-8.src.rpm, all the toolchain (make, gcc...) then I tried
several things :

0) Get "vanilla" kernel source from kernel.org, use the Redhat 9
   .config, build kernel with this and then build drbd on these sources.
   This works fine but is not what I want : I want to be able to use
   DRBD as a RPM, with the kernel-2.4.20-8-i686.rpm from redhat (some
   patch included in redhat kernel allows the machine to see an external
   Raid Array that is not seen with vanilla kernel build, go figure)

1) untar DRBD source
   rpm -bb kernel 
   make KDIR=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.20/linux-2.4.20 
   make works fine, when I do a make install the module won't load due
   to unresolved symbols (see below for list)

2) same as 1) but modyfying the drbd_config.h file and uncommenting
   RedHat related stuff (tryed all cobinations of SIGHAND_ACK
   HAVE_O1_SCHED defined or not)

   DRBD builds but still unresolved symbols when modprobing.
 
3) Tried to edit the drbd.spec minimaly to make rpmbuild happy, tarred
   modified version (SIGHAND_ACK and/or HAVE_O1_SCHED defined) and
   compiled the binary through rpmbuild -bb drbd.spec

   DRBD builds smoothly, the .rpms are created, and installable but
   still unresolved symbols.

4) Tried all the above combinations with fresh subversion checkout, same
   result.

5) 'make rpm' simply doesn't work, tries to use subversion to do
   something and crashes (I'm not very familiar with subversion)

Now I'm getting out of ideas and I wonder if anyone has solved this
before. Please help me, this is quite urgent...

Thanks in advance

PS : The unresolved symbols seem to be always the same :
