Re: Q:Kernel version and insmod refusal
OK - I've now tried those things, and I get the same old message ... Any more
thoughts?
^There are a few things you could try:
^
^- Compile a kernel where you don't add your ethernetcard as a module.
OK
^- Compile a kernel where you select 'Set kernel version on all modules'
^(or something like that, when using make menuconfig it's in the same menu
^as 'Enable modules').
Done.
^- Make sure you did both 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'
Done
^- What does modprobe 3905x say??
modprobe can't locate
insmod still says that I compile the 2c90x module for the wrong kernel...
