Hi,

I'm trying to install ovs in a fresh debian vm, but I keep getting a kernel
module error.
I've tried several tutorial and proposed patches without success.  Even the
from apt-get I'm getting module errors.
..
Setting up openvswitch-common (1.4.2+git20120612-9.1~deb7u1) ...
Setting up openvswitch-switch (1.4.2+git20120612-9.1~deb7u1) ...
[FAIL] Inserting openvswitch module ... failed!
Module has probably not been built for this kernel.
Install the openvswitch-datapath-source package, then read
/usr/share/doc/openvswitch-datapath-source/README.Debian


My kernel release: 3.2.0-4-686-pae

I did follow an installation attempt with the latest source:

Dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Installation:
wget http://openvswitch.org/releases/openvswitch-2.3.1.tar.gz
tar xvfvz openvswitch-2.3.1.tar.gz
cd openvswitch-2.3.1
./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
make
make install

No errors so far. But then I test it:
# insmod ./datapath/linux/openvswitch.ko
Error: could not insert module ./datapath/linux/openvswitch.ko: Unknown
symbol in module

I see a lot o people reporting this issue online, but none of the proposed
solutions were sufficient.

Any remark about this problem ?

Best,
N.
