Do you know how I may be able to tell? With modversions turned off you can do an insmod -f and it will install. The part of modversions that has always annoyed me is that it is supposed to allow modules that are _compatible_ with the current kernel to load regardless of the version they were compiled against. In practice this is a non-starter as the modversions change with every kernel rev (and sometimes with each recompile). -- Daniel Taylor dante at plethora.net
