Why does cloop not like me?

[meatwad]

I took the 2.6.11 config file from Knoppix 3.9 and rolled a new 2.6.14.3 .deb package with it without changing anything. Now I'm building cloop.ko modules for minirt's modules/cloop.ko but each time I get:

insmod: error '/modules/cloop.ko': -1 Invalid module format

What am I doing wrong? I've built it on a woody machine, a sarge machine and even in the Knoppix 4.0.2 live cd environment and get the same result each time. It's driving me crazy!!!


BTW, anyone know what's going on with http://developer.linuxtag.net/ ? I keep trying to make sure I've got the latest cloop source but that site seems to have been down the last couple days.

How did you build cloop module?
You can do it by downloading source package 'apt-get cloop-source' and making a module by 'make-kpkg --added-modules=cloop modules_install'. Does it compile fine? Then remove old cloop 'apt-get --purge remove cloop-modules-2.6.11' (or what ever it is) and install new by 'dpkg -i cloop*' and check that /dev/cloop section is updated. Then just enjoy

Hope I didn't forget anything.
