From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: 2.6.3-2.1.188 and .189: externally built modules (ie. nvidia drivers) will not load into the kernel. Previous that I had tried, 2.6.2-1.177 (UP kernel), was fine and loaded the module fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.6.3-2.1.188/.189 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2.6.3-2.1.188 or 2.6.3-2.1.189 2. run nvidia-installer 3. after error, exit nvidia-installer 4. insmod ./usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko Actual Results: nvidia: version magic '2.6.3-2.1.188 686 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.3-2.1.188 686 gcc-3.4' insmod: error inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko': -1 Invalid module format Expected Results: module insertion with no problem Additional info: As I said earlier, 2.6.2-1.177 loaded the module fine; this is with nVidia drivers version 5336.
probably a bug in the nvidia makefiles and if you read correctly you're using the wrong gcc version. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73733 ***
