Hi John,
I can't think of anything terribly obvious from your make.log output.
I'm not keen on the clock skew message - not sure why you are seeing
this, but might be worth checking the timestamps of the files versus
your system clock.
If you have done an upgrade, have you kept the same pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-10
folder? If so, then can you issue a "make clean" in the src folder
before re-running "setup".
If you still get the "-1 Invalid module format" error, then can you take
a look at the output from dmesg (last 20 lines or so) and see if any
errors are produced. I have seen this error message before on a number of
occasions, but it seems to be a generic error message when insmod bails
out, so not easy to see why it is failing.
Please let me know how you get on, and I will see if I can come up
with some other things to try.
Best regards,
Robert
