[gentoo-user] wanrouter modprobe

[gentoo-user] wanrouter modprobe

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi people!
I have tried to install the latest release of wanpipe through the
freeswitch overlay, which I did so far successfully. Shortly I have
realised, that the "wanrouter" module is not loadable. When I try to
load it I get the following error:

office / # modprobe wanrouter
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wanrouter': Exec format error


What could it be?!

It sounds like the kernel doesn't know how to run the binary. I don't
have experience with this particular error, but maybe running

`file wanrouter.ko`

and checking to see what it says may be of help.

It should tell you what executable format it is using, then you'd need
to cross-reference in the kernel .config to make sure you have support
for that executable format compiled in.

He should also check what dmesg says when modprobing the module, that
usually gives a clue.

An elementary Google search reveals that it's usually obvious things
like trying to load a module built for a different kernel version, or
trying to load a module that is not compatible with another one already
loaded.

Hi Alan,
insmod wanrouter.ko tells me in dmesg:


wanrouter: exports duplicate symbol register_wan_device (owned by kernel)


what does this message mean here ???

It means your module is buggy and you can't use it.

Hi Alan!
what means "owned by kernel" ????

I mean, this is a module that is running at all other distros, but not
on the gentoo machine.

Is there something I have builtin the kernel that I should propably
leave out ???

Sangoma for sure wouldn't have released the module when it wouldn't have
been successfully tested.

Re: [gentoo-user] wanrouter modprobe [SOLVED]

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi Alan!
Solved it!!!

I recompiled the kernel, and unchecked the builtin option
NET_WAN_ROUTER, which was previously set in the kernel config.

After then, I rebuilt wanpipe from the scratch again, and then VOILAAA,
IT WORKED!!!!

Hi Daniel!
It tells me:

wanrouter.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
BuildID[sha1]=0xc0b7c0d39ff6be2335b0317010649c8fff44d58d, not stripped
