Description Iain Cadd 2003-12-03 18:22:32 UTC
I just build 2.6.0-test11-gentoo-r1 kernel. I have a nforce2 based mb and have
build the forcedeth driver as a module. 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:
