First of all - thanks to ALLurGroceries for the instructions. I followed them as well and also got the 'Invalid module format'. I was able to find this out:
The /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31.tar.bz2 contains a Makefile that has EXTRAVERSION=.9 instead of -20-generic. My system is up-to-date. I am not familiar with kernel compiling so I don't know why this is or if I could/should change the Makefile myself.
Hi,
First of all - thanks to ALLurGroceries for the instructions. I followed them as well and also got the 'Invalid module format'. I was able to find this out:
# modinfo drivers/ input/mouse/ psmouse. ko | fgrep vermagic
vermagic: 2.6.31.9 SMP mod_unload modversions
# modinfo psmouse | fgrep vermagic
vermagic: 2.6.31-20-generic SMP mod_unload modversions
# uname -r
2.6.31-20-generic
The /usr/src/ linux-source- 2.6.31. tar.bz2 contains a Makefile that has EXTRAVERSION=.9 instead of -20-generic. My system is up-to-date. I am not familiar with kernel compiling so I don't know why this is or if I could/should change the Makefile myself.
Can anyone provide a hint?
Thanks,
Erik
