To Milind:
This is a x86 (32bit) Kubuntu box:

root at duck:/home/phil/src/drbd08/user# uname -a
Linux duck 2.6.15-27-386 #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 01:51:59 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

Loading the module failed at first:

[17181212.412000] drbd: Unknown symbol cn_netlink_send
[17181212.412000] drbd: Unknown symbol cn_del_callback
[17181212.412000] drbd: Unknown symbol cn_add_callback

Then I realized that I have to load the "cn" module.
'modprobe cn'

[17181361.352000] drbd: initialised. Version: 8.0pre5 (api:84/proto:83)
[17181361.352000] drbd: SVN Revision: 2520M build by phil at duck, 2006-10-10 10:07:02

Then the drbd module loaded.

./drbdadm up r0

        al-extents              257;

        device                  "/dev/drbd0";
        disk                    "/dev/duck-vg/drbd0";
        meta-disk               "/dev/duck-vg/drbd0-md" [ 0 ];
        address                 10.9.9.102:7788;
}
_remote_host {
        address                 192.168.22.12:7788;
}

So, I can not reporduce this on my 32bit kubuntu box here.
What exact kernel version are you using? Do you have one with the connector (cn)
ported back by ubuntu? In case you have an older one you will use 
the connector code that is packaged with drbd.

To Lars:
No, this one is something else.

I guess Milind is using an older kubuntu kernel, ... and the bug is in the
back-ported connector code, we packaged with drbd.
