Bug#394974: linux-source-2.6.18: had to recompile modules when upgrading from 2.6.18-5 to 2.6.18-6
Package: linux-source-2.6.18
Version: 2.6.18-6
Followup-For: Bug #394974
As I've read in the bug reports, it appears that from time to time
module compatibility breaks with minor version upgrades. In my case when
I tried to load ALSA and realtime-lsm modules compiled against 2.6.18-5
source on a
hand-compiled kernel based on 2.6.18-6 source, I received errors of the
form:
snd: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
realtime: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
It would be good to have warning at least in
/usr/share/doc/linux-source-2.6.18 when modules would need to be
recompiled, and hopefully some proper versioning would take place so
that one can have multiple kernels installed that can work with
separately packaged modules.
