Hi! I have a makefile which builds my module using the new kbuild system of kernel 2.6. As a result i will get a .o and a .ko module file which i try to load via insmod. Both of these file return the "invalid module format" error. The logfile does not give further information on the error. What is the new module format? Is there any information about it? I've read the kbuild documentation and lots of newsgrep entries but nothing helped me... Is there a possibility to get more information about my specific error? Has anyone a solution. I'm beginning to curse the new kernel :-(((( I had some mail traffic with Andi Kleen who gave me some hints, i should define KBUILD_MODNAME and i should enable the "DEBUGP" define in kernel/module.c and arch/x86_64/kernel/module.c and recompiling to get some information. I mailed him the output but he couldn't help anymore. I attached my Makefile and the output from insmod in my logfile. Thanks for your patience Carsten
