One other thing to look out for is if the kernel your compiling against is using MODVERSIONS. I don't use the default Red Hat kernels, so I'm not sure how they are set up, I just know that Module Versions was a problem I ran into in the beginning. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Schwendt [mailto:msrh@gmx.de] Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 7:55 AM To: redhat-devel-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: kernel module compilation probs on RHL7.3.

Do compile with the kernel headers in /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux. If you don't have them, install the kernel-source-2.4.18-?.i386.rpm package.
