You may try to check if both the kernel files and the out of tree files are compiled using the same file format, with something like: $ objdump v4l/cx23885.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ata/ahci.ko -a v4l/cx23885.ko: file format elf64-x86-64 v4l/cx23885.ko /lib/modules/2.6.33/kernel/drivers/ata/ahci.ko: file format elf64-x86-64 /lib/modules/2.6.33/kernel/drivers/ata/ahci.ko (assuming that debian has ahci.ko compiled as module and at the right place - you may need to find another module there, it this one doesn't exist). Cheers, Mauro --- PS.: if you're using kernel 2.6.33, plus the latest v4l-dvb hg tree, you could alternatively use the latest git tree, as it is just 2.6.33 + drivers/media (and media staging) updates. I intend to keep v4l-dvb.git and fixes.git trees with 2.6.33 during all 2.6.34 rc cycle, in order to help people to test the drivers, if we don't have any mandatory reason to update to -rc1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
