 Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 5:41 pm Post subject: fglrx.... invalid module format |
 |
|
I just reinstalled gentoo and now I have a problem with the fglrx module.
I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.16 and ati-drivers-8.23.7.
When I want to load the module I get the following | Code: | # modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo/video/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format |
I can't imagine why it doesn't wok, because before it worked with just this configuration.
Any idea what this could be?

Are there any further information in "dmesg"?

Hehe .. shit happens.
(For those that don't see the solution: "When building a kernelmodule you've to use the same gcc as you've used when building the kernel.").

Stupid newbie question:
I've got the same problem. Is there any way to fix this short of recompiling the kernel (which I don't really have time to do at the moment) or emerging the earlier version of gcc and then re-emerging ati-drivers? |

As mentioned above, the kernel and its modules must be compiled using the same gcc. So if you have updated your system, but not recompiled your kernel with the new gcc, I recomment to do that, since it won't take that much time (the configuration need not to be modified. You've just to recompile it). If the kernel is already re-compiled using the new gcc, but the mentioned kernel module is still compiled using the old gcc, re-emerge the needed package to solve the problem.
BTW you can also force modprobe to load a module even if there is a versioning conflict. Think the "-f" switch should do the trick (but that is not the recommendet way  ).
Anyway, recompiling the needed stuff should not take that much time, and therefore I recomment that.
regards,
Sino

fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_unregister
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_get_request
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_put
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_register

Think the problem is that the installed version of ati-drivers is to old for your used kernel. So either downgrade your kernel or emerge a newer version of the ati-drivers package.
