Transferring *.ko in linux2.6.9
 

I have 2 linux machine.

They have the same "main" kernel version. 2.6.9.
But different extraversion. e.g. -66, -99.

I want to get ipx in both of them.
I manage to do it in one of them, the lower version linux, -66. I recompile the kernel to achieve it.

I copied the ipx.ko to machine-99 and do a
I did this because I don't want to recompile machine-99

Is it caused by the differnent kernel version? or the kernel-devel version?
Is there a way to resolve this?

That depends on your ability to make patches and to read code.

Make a diff of the -66 kernel before and after compiling the module.

Compare the affected sections of kernel code in both the -66 and -99 kernels. If the affected sections of code are the same, then apply the diff to the -99 kernel. If there is any difference between the affected sections of code in the two kernels, the patch will not work in the -99 kernel.

In that case, you have no choice but to compile the module in the -99 kernel.
