Severity / Impact

• [ x ] I've read the docs and the bug reporting instructions

Describe the Bug

upon loading the kernel module it gives a "Unknown symbol in module" error

sudo insmod src/hid-xpadneo.ko

Expected Behavior

No errors when loading

Controller and Bluetooth Information

Additional Context

I tweaked the build method because it runs in a container and it cant access /lib/src/linux i used the make same build command (other than directory) to build a different kernel module that does work

[kakra]

Does the container have different kernel headers?

Otherwise I'd suggest using the Makefile provided in the hid-xpadneo directory and tweaking the KERNEL_SOURCE_DIRECTORY variable. Your script is missing building the version file, tho that probably doesn't fix the issue.

Also, insmod won't auto-load module dependencies, so maybe another module is missing?

As far as I can see, we have no explicit module dependencies but your kernel may be missing some input related stuff. Does dmesg show which symbol is unknown?

[MNS26]

no it has the same kernel. I used to use insmod directly on my laptop in the passed. dmesg doesnt show anything sadly

[MNS26]

oh... just had another look. i fucked up the automated signing of it... oops just fixed it and now it loads
