[gentoo-user] Invalid module format

[gentoo-user] Invalid module format

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi people!
I have installed through the freeswitch overlay, the wanpipe package.
What I figure out, that If I "modprobe" a driver, I recevie this error:
"Invalid module format"

here is the output:

tamer@office ~ $ sudo modprobe wanpipe
Passwort:
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files
belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.
WARNING: Error inserting wanrouter
(/lib/modules/3.3.8-gentoo/kernel/net/wanrouter/wanrouter.ko): Invalid
module format
FATAL: Error inserting wanpipe
(/lib/modules/3.3.8-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/wan/wanpipe.ko): Invalid
module format



What does it have to mean? I am not getting smart.


For any help, I would thank you a lot.

Usually, it means you have compiled a module which is not the same
version as your running kernel -- make sure your /usr/src/linux is set
correctly.

Hope this helps.

You could also check for which kernel the module is compiled by
issuing modinfo <path-to-module>

Hi Hinnerk!
I did what you say, now the magic issue comes, the kernel drivers ARE

I would contact sangoma or file a bug on the freeswitch gira.

Does modinfo say exactly the same for another, regular kernel module you 
compiled when building the kernel?

Did you use the same compiler version for building the kernel and for 
wanpipe?

Maybe enabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in your kernel will help (Enable 
loadable module support --> Module versioning support), but I doubt it.

I would try to recompile the kernel. You should also set the
/usr/src/linux symlink accordingly (to your actual kernel sources).
Reboot to machine after rebuilding the kernel and then rebuild the
module itself.
Maybe try - as Wonko stated in another mail - module versioning support.

For the whole process make sure that you use a consistent toolchain
(gcc, linux-headers, kernel-sources, glibc, binutils come to mind)

Re: [gentoo-user] Invalid module format

I even use the same headers for gentoo-3.3.8 (linux-headers-3.3),
recompiled the entire kernel and rebooted.

And the same nonsense....

Re: [gentoo-user] Invalid module format

[Tamer Higazi]

I set the sysmbolic link at the right direction, as well recompiled the
entire kernel with the matched linux-headers.

I have only 1 kernel, built with the same compiler I build the wanpipe
module.


Nividia Drivers are being compiled out of the box, and are running ou
tof the box without errors.
