[Dri-users] Unable to load kernel module - please help

[OS <os...@uk...>]

Hello,

I don't know if this will get to any one but here goes.

I am using mach64-20040723-linux.i386.tar. I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 with a 
Rage Pro Mobility and running Mandrake 10.1

The install.sh compiles and installs the XFree86 module. It also reports that 
it has built the kernel module but then fails to insmod it. The message from 
insmod is :
Using /lib/modules/2.4.22-21mm.2mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mach64.o
/lib/modules/2.4.22-21mm.2mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mach64.o: couldn't find 
the kernel version the module was compiled for

objdump /lib/modules/2.4.22-21mm.2mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mach64.o 
--full-contents --section=.modinfo returns:

so indeed there is no kernel version in there, but "insmod -f" also fails.

objdump /lib/modules/2.4.22-21mm.2mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i810.o 
--full-contents --section=.modinfo (one of the stock Mandrake kernel modules) 
returns:

which does have the correct kernel version in the header.

What can I do to rectify this ? Is there any way I can get the kernel version 
into the mach64 module ?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Owen
