Notice the "+" character? That's the problem here... Run the same kernel version as your module and all should be fine. Note, the "+" means that there are commits past the last tag in your tree (or that it has been modified in some way since that tag). So there is a real difference here, which is why insmod is failing. If you really think you can ignore this, you can always tell insmod to ignore the kernel version check. Read the man page for all of the details there. good luck! greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
