Package: kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 Version: 2.6.8-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
kernel-kbuild is used for building modem drivers and others. But a properly compiled module will under 2.6.n fail to load if the gcc versions of driver and host kernel are not adequately matched. Perhaps put a warning in kernel-kbuild like: The Major.Minor versions differ in the designated compiler $GCC and the $GCC_PC used in kernel assembly!!" But there must be a match on the target for driver installation, of gcc Major.Minor versions of kernel and drivers!! Otherwise the drivers will fail to load with warning: Invalid module format!!"
