Hi Murali, You are right about the version mismatch. Here is what dmesg said: pvfs2: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
Now I am going to build the CVS tree and see what happens. Thanks, Peng On 5/15/06, Murali Vilayannur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Peng, Perhaps, you could tell us what dmesg says about why insmod failed? Usually it is related to some unresolved symbols in the kmod or some kernel/module version mismatch.. Also, can you attempt building the CVS tree itself and see if that works?
