Hello, I want to build a module for different kernels on the same machine. My machine has Fedora release 9, with 2.6.25-14 kernel. (x86_64). I want to build my module for Fedora release 6 (2.6.18-1.2798 kernel), but on the Fedora 9 machine. I had installed kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.x86_64. I had pointed my Makefile to build against this kernel-devel tree. The build finished ok. I copied the module to the FC6 machine. When trying "insmod myModule.ko" on the FC6 machine, I get: insmod: error inserting 'myModule.ko': -1 Invalid module format and in the kernel log, I see: Jun 10 12:58:11 Aplaton kernel: myModule: version magic '2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 SMP mod_unload gcc-4.3' should be '2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 SMP mod_unload gcc-4.1 I found out that the FC6 machine has gcc-4.1.1-30, whereas the FC9 machine has gcc-4.3.0-8. My question is: is there a way to let gcc-4.3.0-8 "think" that it is gcc-4.1.1-30 , so that I will be able to build and insmod the FC6 module on FC9? Or should I install two version of gcc on the F9 machine (And I am not sure it is possible).?
