Bug Description

After upgrading my desktop to 2.6.10-4:

mizar:[~] sudo modprobe cloop
FATAL: Error inserting cloop
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-1-k7/kernel/drivers/block/cloop.ko): Invalid module format
zsh: exit 1 sudo modprobe cloop
mizar:[~] dmesg | grep cloop |tail -1
cloop: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
mizar:[~]

The same happens with loop, nbd, sg (every module I tried).

It looks like you changed the module ABI without changing the package name.

I didn't have time to audit all 100 or so patches to see which one(s) changed
the module ABI, so as a quick fix I disabled all of the non-security patches in
2.6.10-5. Remember to increment the ABI version when enabling them.

Are you sure that we want all of these patches?
