I tried cat /proc/ksyms |grep video_register_device de975b90 video_register_device_R31b9699b [videodev] I also tried nm -a ov511.o and I got: U video_register_device_R31b9699b but the same nm operation on the new one gives a different result: nm -a ov511.o and I got: U video_register_device_Re3761517 from where are the differences ? what is the meaning of the differences in the "R" (relocation) extension? I assume that if I will build the bzImage and install it I will succeed to insmod the new module; But I am curious - does this problem have a workaround? Could this problem be cause because I also installed 2.6.0 kernel on the same machine? regards, John _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
