This is always what happens for me. "On Linux, in an attempt to mitigate this problem, symbol versioning is used and placed within the .modinfo section of ELF modules. This versioning information can be compared to the running kernel; if incompatible, the module will not be loaded." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadable_kernel_module > But can it cause something worse? like system instability or so... This has never occurred with me. The symbol versioning seems sufficient to prevent this. John C.
