Re: R: Linux kernel 2.6.11 and external module error

Yes you were right!!. I set in my code:
MODULE_INFO(vermagic,VERMAGIC_STRING);
the VERMAGIC_STRING to the output of :
#strings ex0.ko|grep vermagic
and the result was:
insmod: error inserting './ex0.ko': -1 Invalid module format
with a dmesg message:
ex0: version magic '2.6.11 gcc-4.0' should be '2.6.11 gcc-3.3'

I then realised that I compiled my kernel with gcc-3.3 and later on
I installed gcc-4.0. Now the gcc link points at gcc-4.0. Is there
a flag for the Makefile CFLAGS to tell the compiler to choose the
gcc-3.3 version instead (CC=gcc-3.3)?
