Hi

While I can compile and create a kernel loadable module
as shown below, I get a kernel version mismatch in the
final result as indicated by the insmod command. Can
someone look at the steps below and tell me where I can
reconcile this difference.

Thank You...

           (Comparing the Qlogic instructions on what to do
            here to what came up, it turns out that
             I did not have to modify anything here).

######################################

root# mkdir -p /qla2x00
root# cd /qla2x00 (I then copied the source tarball (qla2x00-v6.04.00-dist.tgz) to this directory)
root# tar -xvzf qla2x00-v6.04.00-dist.tgz
root# cd qlogic (the above tar command created this new directory to cd into).
root# ./drvrsetup (i.e. /qla2200/qlogic/drvrsetup --
all this did was untar more source files into the current
directory, /qla2x00/qlogic)


root# pwd
/qla2x00/qlogic

root# make all SMP=1 OSVER=linux-2.4

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       640068 Jul 29 17:08 qla2300.o

==================================================
Finally here is the problem (I could use the -f option to insmod,
but am not sure what consequence it will have later):
==================================================

root# insmod /qla2x00/qlogic/qla2200.o
/qla2x00/qlogic/qla2200.o: kernel-module version mismatch
/qla2x00/qlogic/qla2200.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.18-14custom
while this kernel is version 2.4.18-14smp.


How can I get these versions to match up??? In the end, I guess I
need the qla2200.o version to be version 2.4.18-14smp.

Thanks In Advance,
Milton
