For example, I have turned on the ( USB support --> USB Mass Storage verbose ) in Knoppix 3.2 booted from CD, without reburning the CD. I now think I was lost in disentangling Two interacting bonehead newbie errors: // 1 of 2 I think I saw the complaint "couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for" from `modprobe` only when the `strings` of my .o lacked a "kernel_version". To get a kernel_version in my .o, I choose m rather than y in my `make config`. (-: I wonder, did that hurt to read as much as it hurt to write. :-) // 2 of 2 I think I saw no "couldn't find" complaint when my KERNELRELEASE was wrong, instead I saw only: insmod ... failed insmod usb-storage failed Of course `grep -r 2.4.20 .` by definition does not find the head of the ./Makefile for me, which I needed to change to say: VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 4 SUBLEVEL = 20 EXTRAVERSION = -xfs KERNELRELEASE=$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION) > > I think I saw I'll write again if I fail to reproduce my "I think I saw"s.
