The return of modversionsThe return of modversionsPosted Jan 30, 2003 18:45 UTC (Thu) by Ross (subscriber, #4065)Parent article: The return of modversions Does this means that versioned modules and non-versioned modules will be identical except for the table of symbol versions? If so, this is going to be really nice. People won't be forced to use a kernel compiled with modversions just because they are using a binary-only module with symbol versions. Nor will distribution kernels be unable to load unversioned modules.

The return of modversions Posted Jan 31, 2003 0:55 UTC (Fri) by TheOneKEA (subscriber, #615) [Link] I hope is the way it's implemented. That way you can add a kernel config option (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS_ALLOW_IGNORE) that will let you run insmod with, say, the --strip-modversions option, so that versioned modules could be used with unversioned kernels.LYS, it would make one of nVidia's headaches go away, and it would make distro building much easier.
