Post subject:  update-modules isn't working [solved]
I'm not sure what I did but now I can't get the update-modules command to work. I was trying to solve the Green&Purple PVR350 TVout problem when this problem cropped up. A couple of the possible causes I can think of is installing a bugged version of ivtv or lirc. Now I'm getting the following error message:
Code:
root@mythtv:~ # update-modules
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx25840.o


Now I can't change my tuner type, which I need to get channels past 64. Any idea how to fix this problem?

I believe that is an ivtv file that it's complaining about. Did you get any errors when you compiled ivtv?

I did a find and it is an ivtv-0.3 file.
Code:
root@mythtv:~ # find / -name cx25840.o
/lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx25840.o
find: /proc/799/fd: No such file or directory
/usr/src/ivtv-0.3.1z/driver/cx25840.o
/usr/src/ivtv-0.3.1x/driver/cx25840.o

diff doesn't show any differences between the three copies of these files on my computer.

I don't remember any errors during the compilation. I just retried it without seeing any errors or warning. Here's the commands I executed:
Code:
# su
# cd /usr/src/ivtv-0.3.1z/driver
# make clean
# cd ../utils
# make clean
# cd ../driver
# make
# make install
# cd ../utils
# make
# make install

I've got the actual output saved, but it doesn't have anything that would indicate an error, or even a warning. I'll include a small excerpt.
Code:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -D__KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -I/lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/build/include -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=i586 -mcpu=i586 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unused -include /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/build/include/linux/modversions.h    -c -o saa7115.o saa7115.c

hmm odd could be a problem with the drivers, you are using the highly unstable uber bleading edge version. I mean the 0.2 are the standard development bleeding edge ones.

I agree with xsecrets, very odd... I have installed ivtv-0.3.1z before and had no issues with the install. I would try downloading again, perhaps you have a bad copy.

Apparently the answer came to me in a dream, since this morning I knew how to solve it.

I didn't realize that 0.3 was the development edge when I first installed it. I later tried going back to 0.2. I still had the same error. This was strange since 0.2 doesn't have that file. What I did was to go back to ivtv-0.2.0-rc3a and delete the file that caused the error. All is well now.
