Hello ,

I have patched the module update 0.9.13-pre and rebuilt kernel.  However, the insmod is still complainthe same thing because the utility is still from 2.4.20-8.  This driver module is not going to be loaded during the kernel boot.  I want to use insmod to load the module.  I tried load qla1280.o built with kernel and got the same result.

I think I may either need a new insmod utility to load the module,  missed something or need to follow different procedure.  Any idea from this point?

By the way, I am using RH 9.0 release as base system fo r2.5.72 upgrade.

Thanks!

Eddie
