Bug#401439: linux-image-2.6.17-2-parisc: XFS module will not load
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-parisc
Version: 2.6.17-9
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The following error is returned when attemtping to load the xfs module:
FATAL: Error inserting xfs (/lib/modules/2.6.17-2-parisc/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko): Invalid module format
dmesg reveals this:
module xfs relocation of symbol xfs_iext_destroy is out of range (0x3ffeffeb in 17 bits)
This error occured on a PARISC HP 9000 C160 workstation. It is unknown whether it occurs on other PARISC systems.
This makes selecing xfs during install impossible. It will, of course, render an existing system unbootable if it uses xfs and upgrades to this kernel.
