Message from Perego Paolo Franco <p.perego@xxxxxxxx>: > Does the magic string match your running kernel or are you compiling the > module with a different kernel source ball? > Yes you were right!!. I set in my code: MODULE_INFO(vermagic,VERMAGIC_STRING); the VERMAGIC_STRING to the output of : #strings ex0.ko|grep vermagic and the result was: insmod: error inserting './ex0.ko': -1 Invalid module format with a dmesg message: ex0: version magic '2.6.11 gcc-4.0' should be '2.6.11 gcc-3.3' I then realised that I compiled my kernel with gcc-3.3 and later on I installed gcc-4.0. Now the gcc link points at gcc-4.0. Is there a flag for the Makefile CFLAGS to tell the compiler to choose the gcc-3.3 version instead (CC=gcc-3.3)? -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
