not working on cubieboard with Linaro-Precise-Alip

[zulu99]

we need all the kernel source code, for your version 3.4.24-a10

we need the github link for the version 3.4.24-a10

Please can you attach in this forum a module already compiled for your kernel, that you can find in your distro. Any file with extension .ko

In this mode i can see the exact vermagic, and when i have a little time i try to compile the module for you if i found the github link of your exact kernel source code


p.s.
I deleted your previous file because it alone is useless

I don't know if it work. But try this:

uinput.ko 3.4.24-a10-aufs+ preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7

copy in /lib/modules

chmod 644 /lib/modules/uinput.ko

insmod /lib/modules/uinput.ko

p.s.
If this don't work, please attach to me a file with .ko extension from your Linux distro.

Hi again,
i tried out your attached uinput.ko but without success
Now I have to admit that my cubieboard setup is somehow "complicated". As stated, I'm using berryboot to start up my cubieboard which gives me the advantage that I can switch between different distro's. However, I somewhere found some info that this implies that the modules are schared in between the distro's and I'm not sure anymore which modules get loaded.
I wanted to avoid going to the next step as I didn't really wanted to "struggle" again setting up my distro to my wishes but I guess there's now other choice so ...
I decided to make a new sdcard with only the linaro-precise-alip-20121124-519_1G-v2 installed.
The version of this distro seems to be 3.4.24 preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 but for good measure I attached one of the modules as requested.
Not willing to take advantage of your kind help, I've been trying to compile the uinput.ko module myself over the weekend (hence my late response) using this guide http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling ... odule.html but without success. I cant find the linux-headers-3.4.24 anywhere
So sorry to say that I have to call on your help again.
Thanks for your patience.

try this

vermagic = 3.4.24 preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8

Unfortunatly that didn't work too
I still get "-1 invalid module format.
I checked again with modinfo other modules in the /lib/modules and they have the exact same vermagic as the module you attached.
I also ran the depmod -a command and the uinput module shows up in the module.dep and I don't have to specify the path anymore.
Puzzled ....

Look at output of dmesg for more info on error messages associated with kernel modules, and use the modinfo command on the kernel module to peek into kernel module.

without your device in my hand i can't help you well.

Hi,
I understand it is difficult to look for the solution if you don't have the device to play around with. I did some more research and checked the dmesg and there's a problem with the module_layout which is different than from the other modules. I found a way to adjust it with a hex editor but then it gives a invalid_argument error or so.
Anyway, I'm trying to build my own kernel, still struggling with it, but I guess it's a learning school.
Many thanks anyway for all your kind help, it's much appreciated.
If I ever come to a solution I will post it here.
Cheers
