Some relocation type used in your .o files that modutils doesn't know
how to handle.  Generally modutils only handles the relocation types
that I have seen in modules to date.  New types might crop up as a
result of tool chain changes, or different compiler options, or possibly
kernel code changes might cause the toolchain to generate some other
relocation.

Are you using the standard woody toolchain for hppa?  Can you send me
off list your scsi/st.o, incase I can't reproduce here?

Everything might seem ok, but it could be some code paths or data
accesses wont be handled properly.

Thanks,
