could not insert 'lirc_rpi': Exec format error

[naicheben]

I just updatet to 3.1.9-31. Copied my Module lirc_rpi from old kernel and get the

Code: Select all

ERROR: could not insert 'lirc_rpi': Exec format error

What changed so dramatically that I can not use my old module anymore?
I used it since 3.1.9-28
Had the same error when I tried the kernel from git.

Where did you put it?
Modules moved to /usr/lib/modules

[naicheben]

I removed the symlink, moved /lib/modules to /usr/lib/modules and made a symlink /lib/modules -> /usr/lib/modules.
So when I install the module it is copied to /usr/lib/modules/3.1.9-31-ARCH+/driver/stagging/lirc/lirc_rpi.ko

But I found some strange things with modinfo. The vermagic was different from the kernel-version. I'm just about to recompile the module (did that 1000 times before).
What I wanted to do is:
after updating with pacman -Syu
copy the Kernel config to the kernel source/headers:
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux-3.1.9-31+ARCH+/.config
enabled the module via make menuconfig
saved the config
Then I usually should have patched the Kernel, but there are missing files in the Kernel headers, there is no Makefile at this moment. If I do a "make" in the kernel source directory, it does not kompile.

Usually means the module is no longer compatible with the kernel, which usually happens after a kernel upgrade like this. It needs recompiling.

[naicheben]

Thought so and compiled the kernel and the modules gets loaded without any problems.
I just wondered what changed, because I could just copie the module from an older kernel. 3.1.9-31 is not a major number change ....

Never mind, I'll try to label it SOLVED
Thanks.
