[gentoo-user] Invalid modules format?!
Hi people! I have installed "wanpipe" from freeswitch overlay, and figured after long time out, that if I manually load the module "modprobe wanrouter", I have the error on the screen: WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/. FATAL: Error inserting wanrouter (/lib/modules/3.3.8-gentoo/kernel/net/wanrouter/wanrouter.ko): Invalid module format any ideas?!

Check dmesg for clues printed when this happens. I guess usually it is because of the module not compiled against the running kernel. You can use the modinfo command to see what kernel version module file is targeting.

Use uname -r to check that the kernel version in that path matches the kernel version you are running. Also note that if you changed anything important in your kernel and recompiled it you might need to recompile the external module as well. What "important" means depends on the module itself, and the pieces of the kernel it uses. Also, always double check that the /usr/src/linux symlink is pointing to the right kernel tree (the one that uname -r says you are running). -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
