Re: how to load a module

[Adel ESSAFI <adelessafi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I get this error when using insmod :(
[root@localhost ~]# insmod /usr/src/kernels/2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686/kernel/drivers/media/video/easycap.ko  -a
insmod: error inserting '/usr/src/kernels/2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686/kernel/drivers/media/video/easycap.ko': -1 Invalid module format

On F12, works fine  but not on F13

Use
       # insmod

/usr/src/kernels/2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686/kernel/drivers/media/video/easycap.ko

to force a load from where you built the module.

You really should install the module in the correct kernel module
directory, either by using the "make modules install" command for your
kernel makefile or by copying the module to the appropriate
/lib/modules/<kernelversion>/kernel/drivers/media/video directory and
doing a "depmod -a" afterwards.
