Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses I received regarding rebuilding SL3's xfs
module for RHEL3.

I was able to successfully rebuild cern's
kernel-module-xfs-2.4.21-40.EL.cern-1.3.3-2.slc3.src.rpm using:

rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 --define "kernel 2.4.21-52.EL"
kernel-module-xfs-2.4.21-40.EL.cern-1.3.3-2.slc3.src.rpm

I am also able to install the resulting rpm, though I receive the
following from depmod:

rpm -Uvh kernel-module-xfs-2.4.21-52.ELsmp-1.3.3-2.slc3.i686.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
   1:kernel-module-xfs-2.4.2###########################################
[100%]

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols
in /lib/modules/2.4.21-52.ELsmp/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.o
depmod:         filemap_fdatawrite
depmod:         __inode_init_once
depmod:         generic_file_write_nolock

Can anybody tell me whether these missing dependencies are serious or
benign?

Cheers,

James
