I am trying to build a module to run an HPT372N chip. The HPT site has pre-built modules and kernels for SuSE 8.1 and lower, but not 8.2. They do provide an open source module download. I downloaded that and have been trying to build the module for my SuSE 8.2-athlon system. It seems no matter what I do the module built, when I try to insmod it to see if it will load, gives an error saying it was built for -2.4.20-4GB while I am running -2.4.20-athlon. I copied version and autoconf files from /boot to my source files in /usr/src/linux but still get the same errors.
Did you do a make dep after copying the file? This builds that dependencies required to properly build the module.
I assume I could modprobe with --force but that always warns with the ...tainted kernel warning and I don't want to trust my system to ignoring that message. I hope I did not screw something else up that I did not understand by running depmod -F /proc/ksyms to try to get version symbols to match. That seemed to make sense in the man description. Still same errors. Any help? I may need to be led by the nose through this. Richard
