  Hi,
I tried to upgrade my system from 2.4.16 to 2.4.17-rc2 but I'am always
got the following OOPS:

ksymoops 2.4.3 on i686 2.4.16. Options used
     -v /usr/src/linux/vmlinux (specified)
     -K (specified)
     -L (specified)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.17-rc2 (specified)
     -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (specified)

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects

Before the kernel gives up i get the following error messages while
trying to find my LVM drives:

System Configuration:

512MB RAM
Gnu C 2.96
Gnu make 3.79.1
binutils 2.11.90.0.8
util-linux 2.11f
mount 2.11l
modutils 2.4.12
e2fsprogs 1.23
PPP 2.4.1
isdn4k-utils 3.1pre1
Linux C Library 2.2.4
Dynamic linker (ldd) 2.2.4
Procps 2.0.7
Net-tools 1.60
Console-tools 0.3.3
Sh-utils 2.0.11

All partitions are on a LVM drive, and should be found by the initrd.

I hope the problem will be solved before 2.4.17.

Best regards,

Gregor Suhr
