在新硬件上加载网卡驱动，出现e1000e: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module的解决

在redhat下
我加载82574L的网卡驱动

[root@master conf]# insmod e1000e.ko       
insmod: cannot insert 'e1000e.ko': Invalid module format (-1): Exec format error
用dmesg命令查看，错误日志是：
e1000e: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module

 

在make   menuconfig时，你把Loadable   module   support   --->   Module   versioning   support一项如是选上，则去掉。

去掉该选项后，再用上面的步骤，可以编过module。

 

Rusty Russell提到modversions是为了不使一个没有版本的module插入一个修改版的内核

Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted into a kernel which expects modversions.

modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it won't be effected, but this will make sure that a non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.

还有一个密切相关的地方是include/linux/vermagic.h，里面定义了所有magic的生成:

#define VERMAGIC_STRING                         /
    UTS_RELEASE " "                         /
    MODULE_VERMAGIC_SMP MODULE_VERMAGIC_PREEMPT             /
    MODULE_VERMAGIC_MODULE_UNLOAD MODULE_VERMAGIC_MODVERSIONS   /
    MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC
