modules using wrong gcc-version

[boerns]

Since half a year now, I have installed gcc 3.4.x:

holodeck boot # gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)

holodeck boot # gcc-config -L
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6
holodeck boot # gcc-config -l
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6 *
[2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
[3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
[4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
[5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp


when I build the hardware modules for my graphic-card and the isdn-card, the modules are not installable:

holodeck linux # ls /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r6/extra/fcpci.ko -al
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 607157 29. Aug 19:58 /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r6/extra/fcpci.ko
holodeck linux # modprobe fcpci
FATAL: Error inserting fcpci (/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r6/extra/fcpci.ko): Invalid module format

dmesg gives this:

fcpci: version magic '2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload PENTIUMIII gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload PENTIUMIII gcc-3.4'
fcpci: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
fcpci: version magic '2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload PENTIUMIII gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload PENTIUMIII gcc-3.4'


now, when i Use vi to edit the binary file "fcpci.ko" and change the string manually from:
"vermagic=2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload PENTIUMIII gcc-3.3"
to
"vermagic=2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload PENTIUMIII gcc-3.4"

Then I can load the module.

Is there a way to tell nvidia and fritzcapi to write "vermagic=2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload PENTIUMIII gcc-3.4" in the binary modules automatically?

the same with the nvidia-module!

I think you need to rebuild the modules with gcc-3.4

try re-emerging them

Hi,

I have no gcc-3.3 on my box for half a year now. When I compile the modules, only the gcc-3.4 can be used. But still the Information about gcc-3.3 is written into the modules.

I had this problem too
tun: version magic '2.6.17-gentoo-r8 preempt mod_unload PENTIUM4 gcc-4.1' should be '2.6.17-gentoo-r8 preempt mod_unload PENTIUM4 gcc-3.3'

and I found out that it was due to ccache being enabled when i compiled my new kernel (with gcc-4.1.1)
i disabled the ccache out of /etc/make.conf and did
make clean && make in the /usr/src/linux dir and installed the resulting kernel
rebooted and everyone was happy.
