I have a Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro and a Debian sarge system on an
Athlon 1100 with the 2.4.23-1-386 kernel. I've tried to use the pwcx
module from http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ by copying
pwcx-8.4/2.4.23/gcc-3.2/pwcx.o
to /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/usb/
but I got the following:
# update-modules
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols
in /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx.o
# modprobe pwcx
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx.o: kernel-module
version mismatch
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx.o was compiled
for kernel version 2.4.23
while this kernel is version 2.4.23-1-386.
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx.o:
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx.o: insmod pwcx failed
According to the module's FAQ
(http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/faq.html#L10) this means "you have a
kernel with version information on module symbols turned on. Recompile
and/or install a kernel with this option turned off. And yes, that is
the only way."
I would prefer not to dabble in recompiling my kernel yet since I have
no experience of this. Is there a suitable kernel package available?
Thanks,
Adam
