Description Valent Turkovic 2012-09-12 11:09:39 CEST 
This happens when I try to load zram module on my Fedora 16 64bit machine:

# modprobe zram
FATAL: Error inserting zram (/lib/modules/3.4.9-2.fc16.x86_64/extra/staging/zram.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Do you only need to update staging modules to latest version or is the issue more complicated than that?

patch commited and staging-kmod-3_4_2-2_fc16_1 building now; should hit he testing repos with the next push; let me know if the problem is not fixed by this update

My guess is that it still didn't reach testing repos because I'm getting these errors:

# yum update --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing

Current F16 kernel is:
3.4.9-2.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP
Comment 5 Nicolas Chauvet 2012-09-21 11:17:50 CEST 
you need to grab kernel in updates-testing if available when using something from rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
