Couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for

All,

I am getting the above error. I looked throught messages but did not find any quick fix.

I had compiled the kernel ( and was built as -14custom)
I built the module with the folowing options:

INCLUDE = -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/

CFLAGS = -O3 -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ $(INCLUDE)

Anbody have suggestions

thanks

The kernel is looking for a directory called /lib/modules/14custom.
Does /lib/modules/14custom exist?

When you did the kernel compile did you also do:
make modules
make modules_install

Thanks jailbait!!

I did actually do make module modules_install and then recompile my modules.

Anybody in the future reading this...make sure your /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile EXTRAVERSIONS is appropriately set (to the version of kernal running ) -14 or -14custom

I hate this kernel module version check .. I wasted a lot of time.

Thanks!
