Which I am doing here I believe, and my current dmesg ring does go back to the tail end of whats in /var/log/dmesg, but: Its got a lot of crap about tainted kernels, AND its not by any means all from the stuff that pcHDTV-1.6 builds and inserts into the /var/modules/`name -r`/kernel/drivers etc etc directories. Its also bitching about nearly every i2c module loaded! With lines along the general theme of this: -------------- i2c_core: No versions for exported symbols. Tainting kernel. i2c_algo_bit: No versions for exported symbols. Tainting kernel. kobject_register failed for i2c_algo_bit (-17) [<c020d487>] kobject_register+0x57/0x60 [<c012c3a0>] mod_sysfs_setup+0x50/0xb0 [<c012d589>] load_module+0x889/0xb70 [<c012d8c6>] sys_init_module+0x56/0x220 [<c01026d9>] sysenter_past_esp+0x52/0x75 ----------- and yet, gkrellm, and sensors are both working quite nicely. WTH? I am rather certain that versioning info in the modules IS turned on in the .config: However, a grep of .config makes a liar out of me, it is NOT set: [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.11.2]# grep VERSION .config CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="" # CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set # CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL is not set Rebuild coming up. :( >- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe > linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
