Bug 51882 – [2.4] Kernel module via-ircc has strange error message

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Rene Androsch 2004-05-23 16:15:44 UTC]

I'm using kernel 2.4.25-gentoo-r2 and I get the attached error message.
When I use kernel-2.6.6-mm4 the modules gets inserted without any error message and works! I also tried it with Knoppix3.4 booting with the 2.6.5 kernel and it worked.

So the 2.4.x kernels seem to have a problem with this module! Is there anyway to get this module working for 2.4.x ?

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2004-08-17 13:04:50 UTC]

Is this issue still present with the latest gentoo-sources? Have you tried removing /lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/net/irda/via-ircc.o and rerunning "make modules modules_install"?

[Comment 2 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-08-25 17:58:48 UTC]

Please try gentoo-sources-2.4.26 or gentoo-sources-2.4.27 and reopen this bug if you still have this issue, attaching your kernel configuration to this bug.
