This is because the struct modversion_info has the name member set to a size of MODULE_NAME_LEN. This is not the module name this is the symbol name so I'm guessing this is a mistake or at least a misused constant. Is it possible to increase this size to something more reasonable like 512 characters? -- Shawn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
