All modules return "invalid module format"...

[servo888]

This is a strange problem.

So I unpack a fresh development gentoo release of 2.6.5, and run genkernel all on it. I grub it, and boot it. After it boots I test out the stability and what not. I then run make menuconfig and add or remove options I need or don't need. But afterwards I run make bzImage && make modules_install, reboot, and no modules load; every module returns the infamous "invalid module format" error.

This is kind of strange because it only does this in the 2.6.5 kernel, so there could be something with the 4k statck that a lot people complain about; but all the modules are being affected!

Did you use a 2.4 kernel before?

If so, you have to emerge module-init-tools since the module format changed in the 2.6 tree.
But actually Portage should have done this for you if you emerged the sources

A very long time ago... I'll give that a try though I haven't had module problems in 2.6.3 (which is what I ran for a while). Though I did start out with 2.4.x.

thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a try.
