1. disabled the version checks and rebuilt the 2.4.20 kernel. 2. rebooted my machine with the new kernel. 3. compiled LiS 2.16.12 from scratch. 4. removed -DMODVERSIONS flag and recompiled my driver. 5. did 'streams start' 6. did 'modprobe streams-xyz'
I still get the same complaint re: kernel version not found. This doesn't make sense!!! I was expecting modprobe to skip any version checks; apparently it doesn't. I noted that LiS detects the kernel change I made and does not use the -DMODVERSIONS flag when compiling its sub components. It looks like 'modprobe' didn't take the change I made into account however. I looks like there's no way for me to load my driver dynamically -- regardless of version checks being enabled or disabled in the kernel. Any other suggestions to get this functionality to work?

I find that kernel symbol and module versions cause more grief than good during developement and I usually turn them off in my development kernels. --brian On Sat, 30 Aug 2003, Gurol Akman wrote: > i believe so brian... > > debian 3.0 comes with 2.2.20 kernel; i then installed & compiled 2.4.20 > kernel under /usr/src/linux and upgraded my system from 2.2.20 to 2.4.20. i > then compiled & installed LiS 2.16.12. finally, i compiled my driver on this > system and try to load it. this is when i get the errors listed. do you see > anything incorrect in this sequence of events? thanks, > > gurol > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian F.
