Invalid module format. Unable to insert tg3.ko!! Please help
Hi
The NIC card, Broadcom Netlink BCM5787 Gigabit ethernet PCI Express is not detected in my ACER5920 laptop in Redhat 4 Enterprise edition. Kernel is 2.6.9-78EL When I tried with Fedora 10 it is detected automatically. So I tried with the same tg3.ko in the Redhat 4 (I have to use Redhat 4 for installing the Oracle applications.) I am getting the following error while using the command Insmod tg3.ko Invalid module format. Unable to insert tg3.ko How can I correct this error to activate the NIC Your help on this is highly appreciated. Thanks |
You should get yourself the tg3 rpm for red hat 4 or compile it from source with your red hat 4 kernel header files.

A module only works when .....
1) compiled for the used kernel 2) with the right 'kernel-devel' 3) with the same compiler as the used kernel. .... |
Thanks for your immediate response.
I am new to linux and I don't know how complex is compiling the tg3. Can you pls tell me how to compile the tg3 for the redhat 4 or provide me any link which explains compiling the tg3. Is there any tool available for this. Or where can I get the tg3 for Redhat 4 Any input from you will be more useful to me. Thanks in advance. |
