[Openchrome-users] VIA DRM module dependencies with 2.4 kernel

[Craig Schubert]

I just compiled the DRM VIA modues against a 2.4.29 kernel, and all went well except that depmod reports unresolved symbols in via_drv.o
I sent the modules to a colleague who has VIA CLE266 hardware (I don't) and he reports that after "modprobe agpgart" and "modprobe via", "modprobe via_drv" fails with this message -

modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies!
modprobe: Circular dependency? via_video via_drv
Aborted"

I thought that possibly the solution might be to insmod the separate modules, but after looking at the relevant part of the modules.dep file, it appears to me that dependencies cannot be resolved:

/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via.o:

/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_dma.o: /lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_verifier.o \

/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_dma.o \
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_map.o

/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_verifier.o: /lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_drv.o

/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_video.o: /lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via_drv.o


Can anyone please suggest what the solution might be?
