Re: OSS kernel modules can not compile in kernel 2.6.38

Can't reproduce here. oss has built just fine on multiple 2.6.38 rc's as well as the mainline release. I'd say your kernel config and/or package is at fault.

Re: OSS kernel modules can not compile in kernel 2.6.38

I finally know why now, build option in PKGBUILD or makepkg.conf should be '!strip', otherwise "vmlinux has no symtab".
