Actually I've noticed something curious. If I compile the same kernel sources with the same kernel config, with a cross compiler on my PC and a native compiler on my Mac (Linux on both) the modules do not seem to be interchangeable. Should they be? For example I copied the 2.4.22-pre6 cross compiled modules from my PC to my Mac Linux setup and the modules would not load into the 2.4.22-pre6 kernel that was compiled on my Mac Linux with the same .config file. When I say copied I mean create a tarball of the modules on the PC and untar'd them on the Mac. Both compilers are gcc 3.3.x vintage but the binutils may be quite different versions. I think the cross binutils on the PC is a bit older than the binutils on the Debian PPC setup. Fred Error Loading Explorer.exe You must reinstall Windows.
