Description gilhad 2013-09-09 14:56:01 UTC

I updated system and recompiled kernel with make olddefconfig, then rebuilded kernel and install modules. Now I cannot modprobe modules without -f (force), as it always fails. with -f it works. I am not runnig SElinux (AFAIK) and I cannot see, why it stopped working.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. cd /usr/src/linux; make; make modules_install;cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot; reboot
1. modprobe r8169
modprobe: ERROR: major version check fail: 2953311319 instead of 2953311319
2. no module loaded
3. modprobe -f r8169
4. module loaded and works fine
Actual Results:  
no modules autoloaded, modprobe complains about module having fail check

Expected Results:  
load modules ok

Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment.

I am sorry, I had to return that computer, so I did instalation from scratch and now it works. So there was probabelly some old libraries or so, which was not updated even after "emerge --sync;emerge -DuN world" but I cannot confirm that any more.
I suggest to close this bug (I am not sure, what is appropriate reason - WORKSFORME? NEEDINFO? OBSOLETE?, as I cannot replicate it. If I will get another old computer to upgrade and it will arise, I will reopen this bug with more information.

We'll keep this in mind if future bugs arise or you get this again due to a particular set of package you use specifically; thank you for letting us know, quite odd for it to list the same version twice. I'll guess the developers of kmod might catch that at one time or another.
