Hello Gurus

I have a kernel module which uses sys_open(), however, when I insmod, I got
unknown symbol sys_open(). Do you know why? By the way, I use kernel 2.6.11
. Thanks a lot.

bash-2.05b# insmod flash.ko
aesop_flash: Unknown symbol sys_open
Dec  4 07:08:56 localhost kernel: aesop_flash: Unknown symbol sys_open
insmod: error inserting 'flash.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module


Use vanilla kernel from kernel.org. Some distributions apply patches
to kernel that prevent them from exporting system call handlers.
