Looks like the problem is actually that depmod was run under the newer version and then you tried to use the generated files with an older modprobe. I'm not sure that's actually an error - it was noted that the slight format change was unideal for such unlikely cases and in fact we won't do that again in the future. But if you were just moving forwards from one release to the next you would have been fine - you're talking lack of forward compatibility actually. Unless I'm missing something, in which case please clarify. I would like it also if you'd send me the generated files, distro info, etc. Jon. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-modules" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
