modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'facetimehd': Exec format error #153

This happens with Linux Kernel: Linux debian 4.15.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.15.11-1 (2018-03-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

When running dmesg I see: facetimehd: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

Looks like you're trying to use a module compiled for a different kernel version. (One subtle way to do this is to not reboot your system after a kernel update, see #147.) Try rebooting and recompiling from scratch(!).

I use to do that on every kernel update. It did not work this time. Although it was solved after doing a make clean first!
