Re: [gentoo-user] PCtel 'Winmodem' Driver

[Andrew Gaffney]

The problem is just as it says. You can't insert a module built with GCC 
2.x into a running kernel compiled with GCC 3.x. You have to wait until 
a new binary module is released that is compiled with GCC 3.x. Or, if 
you *really* want it, you could compile your kernel on another linux box 
with GCC 2.x and then bring it back to your box. Then the module should 
work without a problem. You could also downgrade your GCC to 2.x, but 
this is probably a bad idea, if even possible without breaking a lot of 
things.

/lib/modules/2.4.20/misc/pctel.o: The module you are trying to load
(/lib/modules/2.4.20/misc/pctel.o) is compiled with a gcc
version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is compiled with
a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.
