Package: module-assistant
Version: 0.11.0
Severity: important
Hello,
While compiling the nvidia kernel modules using m-a build nvidia for
recent kernels, a 2.6.28 make-kpkg-made kernel and the 2.6.29 official
kernel that just hit unstable, m-a builds fine, but when I try to load
the module, the kernel refuses the load the module, with an error in
the style of:
Mar 28 08:46:50 tanyaivinco kernel: [ 151.047863] nvidia: disagrees about
version of symbol struct_module
(this is for a 2.6.29 kernel, I don't have the logs for the 2.6.28)
This is very annoying, as I simply can't use my graphics card
properly without this module, which makes a recent kernel unusable.
I'm unsure from where the bug is coming from: kernel ? nvidia-kernel
? or module-assistant ? Here is the rationale why I choose to report
on m-a first:
* nvidia-kernel works on older kernels (2.6.26 and older, I didn't
check with 2.6.27), so it probably isn't the problematic one ?
* both home-made kernels and official debian kernels has the same
effects, so that probably isn't kernel-related?
I'm aware I don't give much information, but I don't know what to
give. Please ask me for more !
Cheers,
Vincent
