tlug: module compilation failure

[Martos-Riano <martos@example.com>]

I have spent part of the day trying to create a module for the kernel.

The message I am picking up is:

/lib/modules/2.0.30/misc/yellowfin.o: kernel-module version mismatch
/lib/modules/2.0.30/misc/yellowfin.o was compiled for kernel version 2.0.29
while this kernel is version 2.0.30.

I had the sources of 2.029 and 2.0.30 of the kernel, but uninstalled the first
one and started the
compilation process from scratch.

The steps I have followed to compile yellowfin.o are the ones indicated by
Donald Becker:
cd /usr/src/linux ; make include/linux/version.h
and then
gcc -DMODVERSIONS =DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -O6 -c
driver.c
install -m 644 yellowfin.o /lib/modules/2.0.30/net

Thanks in advance for any advice,

dm
