Old compiled module

Old compiled module

[Ole Turvoll]

When trying to insert a module into the kernel the following error message 
appears:


ld -m elf_i386 -r au_audio.o au_midi.o au_core.o au_sndstat.o au_mixer.o 
au_utils.o au_vortex.o asp10.o -o au8810.o
mv -f /etc/modules.conf /etc/modules.conf.old
gawk -f mod_conf /etc/modules.conf.old > /etc/modules.conf
echo "alias sound au8810" >> /etc/modules.conf
echo "alias midi au8810" >> /etc/modules.conf
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-default/misc
cp -f au8810.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-default/misc
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/rmmod au8810

a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.

How can this be solved?

I am running gcc 3.3 on a Suse 9.0 install

RE: Old compiled module

[lrtaylor]

Hi,

Basically, it boils down to that you need to compile this module with
the same compiler used to build your kernel.  If this is a third party
module, then you'll need to either get one built with the right
compiler, or you'll need to recompile it yourself if you can get the
source.  If you've recompiled your kernel since you install the OS, you
may not have recompiled this module as well.  In that case, you should
reconfigure your kernel to include this module in the build (modules are
only built if you tell the configuration program to include them) and
rebuild.

Good luck,
Lyle
