[Pvfs2-users] unable to insert kernel module pvfs2.ko

[Tommy Butler]

I started with a fresh build tree of pvfs2.  I deleted the old directory,
created a new build tree by extracting from the source.  I then patched the
tree.  I then went into /usr/src/linux and ran a `make modules` in order to
generate the Module.symvers file that was missing per the previous error.  I
then went back to the /usr/src/pvfs2 build tree and ran a configure against
the new kernel source tree (`./configure -with-mpi=/usr/bin/mpirun
-with-kernel=/usr/src/linux`)

I then did `make && make install && make kmod_install` and that went well
without any errors.  Then...

once again:

root at node2:/usr/src/pvfs2# insmod src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko
insmod: error inserting 'src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko': -1 Invalid module
format
root at node2:/usr/src/pvfs2# dmesg|tail -n1
pvfs2: version magic '2.6.18 mod_unload 486 gcc-4.1' should be
'2.6.18-4-486mod_unload 486 REGPARM
gcc-4.1'

I have no idea what "REGPARM" is supposed to signify, but it seems to be the
clue I need to figure out the rest of the problem.  Please, any thoughts?

*sigh* =(
