ERROR: incompatible kernel!

[nicolas_cadio]

Hi,

I use a debian 5.04. Before I used the kernel 2.6.26-2 but I had this error ([ERROR] unable to open SELI interface) so I downgrade to the kernel 2.6.26-1. I reinstall Vtune and I rebuild a driver for this kernel.

This is the output of the comman ./build-driver :

Installed sampling driver to /opt/intel/vtune/vdk/vtune_drv-x32_64-2.6.26-1-amd64smp.ko .

When I type the command ./insmod-vtune, there is this error :

ERROR: incompatible kernel!

The kernel that sampling driver vtune_drv-x32_64-2.6.26-1-amd64smp.ko

was built against does not match kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64 .

Please see driver README for instructions on building a driver

for your kernel.

I don't understand why the command insmod-vtune return ths error, the driver seems good.

If any body have clue what is going on please help.

I solve my problem, I has not use the same compiler for the kernel and the driver.
I has not read the README of /vdk/src/ :

Requirements for building the VTune Performance Analyzer sampling driver:

- a Linux* system with an IA32 processor (with or without Intel Extended

Memory 64 Technology) or with an Itanium processor

- system must have GCC compiler version 2.96 or higher installed

- same compiler used to build the kernel should be used to build the driver

- system must have GLIBC version 2.2.2 or higher installed

- system must have development environment (e.g., glibc-devel*.rpm) installed
