Re: [uml-user] modules are appended with "gdea2244-dirty" so unable to insmod custom modules

Thanks I'll read more about them.

The reason for using old kernel is , I having file system module that works
with those versions.
It won't compile with new version - since kernel has been changing quite
rapidly. I need learn how fs module works & then modify it according to
latest version.


You guest modules need to match your guest kernel, that's it.

I'm working with assumption following should work .
I compiled a module (myfs.ko) under host kernel 2.6.32.26-175.fc12. Now
built uml from that kernel source (2.6.32.26).
Logging into uml , I did hostfs mount and copied it into uml. now doing
insmod gives following error message
- (Or I need to compile the module within uml itself not from host and cp it
?) .

UML# insmod myfs.ko
myfs: version magic '2.6.32.26-175.fc12.x86_64 SMP mod_unload ' should be
'2.6.32.26 mod_unload '
insmod: error inserting 'myfs.ko': -1 Invalid module format
