Can't install kernel module #15

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

Hi,

I have managed to initialize the device but once it comes to compiling and 
installing the kernel modules I get the following errors. Could anybody help 
shed some light on this? I am running Ubuntu Server 12.10. Thanks

When I run sudo make I get

ake -C /lib/modules/3.5.0-22-generic/build M=/home/thomas/easycap/easycap-soma$
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-22-generic'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-22-generic'

Which I presume is just fine, then when I run sudo insmod somagic.ko I get

insmod: error inserting 'somagic.ko': -1 Invalid parameters

and dmesg shows

[570969.285935] somagic: disagrees about version of symbol video_devdata

I've Googled it and tried "sudo modprobe videodev" before insmod but it doesn't 
work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

newly released debian stable/wheezy is kernel 3.2.0 - WHY THE HELL would you 
require a kernel that is so much newer? Why do devs insist to use bleeding edge 
everything, which makes what they write unusable on stable systems?
