On trying to modprobe I get modprobe forcedeth FATAL: Module forcedeth not found. so i tried to insmaod the module with the full path and get insmod /lib/modules/2.6.0-test11-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.0-test11-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.ko': -1 Invalid module format in dmesg the following also appeared. forcedeth: version magic '2.6.0-test11-gentoo-r1 K7 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.0-test11 K7 gcc-3.3' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.build gentoo-dev-sources with forcedeth as module 2.try and moprobe modules after reboot 3.try insmod module after reboot Actual Results: see details Expected Results: inserted module..
