 Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2017 9:46 am Post subject: Modules won't load due to wrong "version magic" [S |
 |
|
I installed gentoo on my laptop a few days ago. Doing so I encrypted my home catalog (and swap), following the instructions in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dm-crypt/en and https://www.lourdas.eu/blog/mini-howto-encrypt-your-home-and-swap-partitions-gentoo-linux. Everything went more or less OK, but since I didn't have any sound or wifi, I (after trying many other things) tired to regenerate the kernel with genkernel to test if I missed a module that genkernel would automatically include:
| Code: |
genkernel --makeopts=-j9 all
|
However, that only caused disaster.
Now, if I try to decrypt /home, it says (regardless of the password I provide):
| Code: |
device-mapper: reload iotcl on temporary-cryptsetup-3626 failed, invalid argument
Failed to setup dmcrypt key mapping for device /dev/sdb1
Check that kernel supports aes-xts-plain64 cipher (check syslog for more info).
|
Encrypting swap gives:
| Code: |
device-mapper: reload iotcl on swap failed, invalid argument
|
After this, dmesg is appended by
| Code: |
dax: version magic '4.12.14-gentoo SMP mod_unload modversions ' should be '4.12.14-gentoo SMP mod_unload '
|
The module xts exists, and I tried doing , which gives
| Code: |
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'xts': Exec format error
|
and adds
| Code: |
xts: version magic '4.12.14-gentoo SMP mod_unload modversions ' should be '4.12.14-gentoo SMP mod_unload '
|
to dmesg.
I have already tried to make mrproper, copy my old config to .config, and then make all, make modules_install and make install, but the encryption still doesn't work.
After starting to write this, I noticed that other modules give the same error when I try to load them as well. In fact, my entire dmesg is red with errors.
Please note that since I don't have any GUI or internet on my laptop I'm writing this on my work computer, and I've just visually copied the error messages from the laptop screen. Thus, there might be some errors. I'm very new to gentoo, so I appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you in advance.

Calemipe,
Welcome to Gentoo.
| dmesg: | | wrong "version magic" |
means that your kernel and modules have been compiled with different kernel configurations options.
As you are using it suggests that something went wrong with your kernel install.
was boot mounted?
did you tell grub about the new kernel?
This results in using an old kernel with new modules.
The fix is to ensure that boot is mounted for kernel installs, or the kernel binary will be correctly installed to the wrong location and grub won't find it.

Thank you NeddySeagoon, you're a lifesaver!
Now I just feel like an idiot. Trying to solve my problems, I've been looking through thread after thread and seen countless people mentioning forgetting to mount boot, but I assumed that since I was mounting the computer directly, not via liveCD, /boot would mount automatically.
As you suggested, I both mounted /boot and configured grub:
| Code: |
mount /dev/sda2 /boot
make install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
|
However, now I get kernel panic after selecting gentoo at the grub menu  . I'm guessing I'll be able to fix this, but I'm at work and forgot to bring my liveCD USB, so I'll only be able to try in a few hours.
Should I mark the thread as [Solved] since the cause of the original problem (seemingly) has been found out, or should I wait until I know for sure/my kernel boots correctly? |

Calemipe,
You are not an idiot provided you learn from your mistakes.
Its experience. As you see, experience is something you get just after you needed it :)
The default gentoo /etc/fstab has the noauto option for /boot. Remove that option if you prefer that /boot be auto mounted every time you start your PC.
Your kernel panic is a different problem, so deserves a new topic.

| Thanks for the help NeddySeagoon. My statement about feeling like an idiot wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I'll mark the thread as solved. |
