Kernel 2.6.6 Bug !!!!
Sorry for posting this to the ide list, but it is the only one I'm registered.
I just got the new kernel 2.6.6. It seems like there is a really bad bug in it. The Nvidia driver and my soundcard driver (this one I wrote myself), don't work anymore.
When I try to load those modules I get:
Inavalid Module Format
Who should I contact in order to resolve this issue immidiately????
Tanks, R.S.
P.S. On OSNews I saw someone mentioning:
-mregparm=3 (register option) or 4 kb stacks
both aren't set in my kernel
Also I notived, both of the modules have a different name now in 2.6.5 they were named:
cmaudio.ko
nvidia.o
now in 2.6.6
cmaudio.o
nvidia.ko
Was there a change in compile flags or such thing?

Ah I just looked at the Makefile, there are a lot of changes in there, could it be that those changes break out of tree module compile? Or do we have to make changes to the makefiles of our drivers?
Update, I had an error in my makefile and didn't notice it until now. I should have tested it with 2.6.5 right after I made the change. So my driver works, only the nvidia driver seems broken. I try to find out why.

The nvidia driver is fine, I ran it manually now and it works. Seems like gentoos ebuild for the driver is broken:-(
So everything is fine, just throw those mail in your trashcan:-)

You say you wrote the soundcard driver yourself.
Does alsa support your sound card. If not, I think the alsa project would be very interested to look at your source code, so that they could add support for it in alsa, and therefore the linux 2.6.x kernel would have native support for it
Just a thought.

I already gave them my source code a couple of weeks ago, because their driver only featured 2 channel mode and had no volume control
My driver supports 2/4/6(5.1) channel and volume control. I think they have already commited some changes in cvs to their driver.
