Modules on Alpha

Hi, there,

I'm facing a weird behavior in my Linux kernel on an Alpha system, and I
hope you can help me.

If I compile the Cyclades driver as a monolythic driver, the kernel is
loaded and it works fine. However, if I compile it as a module (with the
module support enabled in the kernel, of course), once I try to load the
module I get the following errors:

/lib/modules/2.0.30/cyclades.o: unresolved symbol _memcpy_toio
/lib/modules/2.0.30/cyclades.o: unresolved symbol _memcpy_fromio

Some additional information:

- I don't think these symbols are not defined in the kernel, because it
all works fine when I compile the driver as monolythic;
- In i386 builds the problem does not happen (i.e., I can compile and use
the driver either as a module or as a monolythic driver);

Any hints???

I really appreciate your help.

Regards,
Ivan Passos
