The fault is solely mine. You're correct that "-I" typo should be fixed. Also, from what Chintan said, I got impression that he use the kernel source RPM packaged in RH 9 CDs and he was running the default RH 9 stock kernel too. From that assumption (and IIRC), the running kernel and the installed kernel source is actually identical. The real difference is only in the Makefile: VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 4 SUBLEVEL = 20 EXTRAVERSION = -19.9custom // --> this is the difference I am not suggesting to replace VERSION, PATCHLEVEL and the SUBLEVEL. I was just suggesting to throw out "custom" string from EXTRAVERSION if there is any (sorry if this isn't clear from my initial post). Of course, I am not 100% sure that it will solve Chintan's problem, but reading his last line : "I have also compiled the kernel by disabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS , insmod gives the same error on this newly compiled kernel. i.e linux 2.4..20-8Custom" I had big suspicion that was actually the root of the problem. regards Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
