Slackware :: Invalid Module Format Both Broadcom Wireless And Nvidia Gfx
Jan 25, 2011
A little background first: Wireless card: Broadcom BCM4312 Wireless driver used: [URL].... (and slackbuild variation of the same)
GFX card: nVidia geForce 7150m I installed Slackware yesterday, along side my Ubuntu (yes yes, I use Ubuntu lol. I've been using it for about four years, I added Slackware to grub.cfg, using the OS prober, which added four menu entries. The first two caused kernel panic, the third worked, and I don't think I tried the fourth. (I'm pretty sure they were, in this order: generic, generic-smp, huge, and huge-smp). Using huge, I could not modprobe my wireless driver, I would get a "Invalid Module Format" error with wl, and when installing the nVidia drivers (from their site), I would get:
[code]....
I then booted using a menuentry my friend gave me, created my initrd, and everything worked fine, both graphics and wireless (mostly fine). So I upgraded to -current, kernel 2.6.35.10, and I started getting the same errors as before, 'Invalid Module format' and the same thing with the nVidia drivers, although this time, it happens regardless of if I use the generic kernel, or the huge kernel. I've done heaps of Google'ing around, and nothing I found worked.
I'm having some troubles with nfsd in slackware-current. When I start the service, I get the following error messages: Quote:
WARNING: Error inserting sunrpc (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting auth_rpcgss (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting lockd (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/fs/lockd/lockd.ko): Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting nfsd (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/fs/nfsd/nfsd.ko): Invalid module format
The mount fails from the clients with the error message: Quote: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting jupiter:/media/Backup A look at syslog from the server side gives: Quote: exportfs: exports duplicate symbol exportfs_decode_fh (owned by kernel) mountd[28198]: getfh failed: No such device kernel: exportfs: exports duplicate symbol exportfs_decode_fh (owned by kernel)
I'm new to openSUSE and as a matter of fact, to linux too. I've got a Linksys WUSB600N wireless adapter which used to work fine with some live versions of linux that I was testing out before moving onto suse... Each time, upon booting using live CDs, I used to copy the driver I had downloaded from:
Then 'make' and get into the driver's os/linux directory to load the driver using 'insmod rt2870sta.ko' Now, upon doing a 'make' and 'make install', followed by the 'insmod rt2870sta.ko', I get the error saying:
insmod: error inserting 'rt2870sta.ko': -1 Invalid module format
I tried doing 'modprobe -rv rt2870sta' and didn't get any error messages. But while doing 'modprobe -v', this error shows up: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko FATAL: Error inserting rt2870sta (/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko): Invalid module format
Can someone tell me how to correct the "Invalid module format"? I hope that correcting the "Invalid module format" error, I will not have the "Unknown symbol in module" error.
Note: I am using wlan1 for this module as I previously am online with the wlan0 network.The same error occurs if I use ./wlan0up.
module loads successfully; another is using (CC) and then creating the module by "make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules", this module gives the error message when it is inserted, .........
I've got a brand new Advantech USB 4761 Digital/Analog PC Lab card. They claim to run under Linux. The install, " dpkg -i advdaq_1.04.0006-1_i386.deb", was successful. But when I tried to modify and run their install script, "adv_load_template", I get this:./adv_load_templateinsmod: error inserting './modules/advdrv_core.ko': -1 Invalid module format insmod: error inserting './modules/usb4761.ko': -1 Invalid module format
I successfully built the sources for 64 bit linux drivers from [URL].... on the 64 bit F14 machine: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 18 23:57:44 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and got wl.ko:
I am trying to compile the Cisco vpnclient on my Opensuse 11.2 and (after some troubles) I got the module compiled and installed but when I try to load with insmod I got this error
I am able to use the vpnclient forcing the module with modprobe -f cisco_ipsec but I'd prefer to solve the 'invalid format' original problem. I 'googled' around and it seems related with this warning during vpn_install script "WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.12-0.2/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions." I have these rmps:........
I am using reliance zte modem ac2726.i inserted the modem in my laptop and tried wvdialconf command and it was working.but when i type
Code:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0xfffd
command it shows the following error message
Code:
FATAL: Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): Invalid module format But "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices","lsusb","dmesg" everything are working perfectly."Wvdial.conf" file also got configured perfectly.what can i do now?
i installed SLES 11 sp1 as guest on openSUSE 11.3 host, then change the adapter network from 'NAT' to 'Bridged Adapter', but when i hit start i got this error message: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine sles. Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-wlan0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). but when run: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
I have a problem with loading the powersaving kernel module p4-clockmod.ko. When I try inserting the module (via modprobe or insmod) I get FATAL: Error inserting p4_clockmod (/lib/modules/2.6.31.8-mediaserver/extra/p4-clockmod.ko): Invalid module format The module has been compiled together with the kernel. Other modules load with no problem at all. I've tried recompiling the kernel (after re-installing the sources, make xconfig from scratch) - no avail. There's only one kernel source package installed. Searching the forum and google didn't yield a helping answer.
So I made the upgrade to slackware64-current and all of a sudden after my next reboot, startx failed, and x refused to start the output was the following:

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. So then after some googling I got the suggestion to downgrade udev-151 to udev-141, but that yeilded no results. So I did some more googling and a bunch of people who had the same problem said that downgrading module-init-tools worked, so I downgraded from module-init-tools 3.11 something to 3.6 and now, not only does my X no longer work, but no modules are being loaded I believe, for example I saw in my startup that fuse was not being loaded, ndiswrapper which I had installed was not loaded.
I have installed Fedora 15 on a Mac mini 2.4. Everything works fine except the audio and wireless devices.
lspci shows this:
In the gnome, the network option only shows the wired connection. I tried to do yum install kmod-wl which downgraded the graphic display and didnt help in wireless issue. I reinstalled nvidia driver. the lspci is after doing all this stuff.
I have Centos5.4 loaded on a late 2008 MACBOOK Pro and would like to get wireless working. I've attempted to download the broadcom driver and create a driver module with no luck.
64bit Slack doesn't recognize my ethernet device. ifconfig -a show no eth0. It's an onboard nvidia MCP55 ethernet nic. Never had this problem using 32 bit Slack.
When I try to modprobe forcedeth I get the following error:
repeats those two statements 3 times
I just recompiled my kernel with every possible 10/100 ethernet device included in the modules. Still no go.
I have a problem with the built-in wireless-card of my laptop. I can connect to the wireless DSL-router using wicd (wicd-1.7.0-486-2 from /extra), wicd reports that it connects and obtains an IP-address. It then changes the status to connected. Immediately after that (may be a second later) the status changes back to disconnected and I can't reach the network.
Here some specs: Kernel: self-compiled 2.6.37-6-generic, the only option I changed from the standard generic config was to enable PAE, but I also tried it with the standard generic kernel and the huge kernel. Wireless card: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) Firmware installed with the packages from Slackbuilds.org: network/b43-fwcutter network/b43-firmware. The wireless card is working correctly under Debian, so I think this is not a hardware issue.
Bottom Line: Dvd Drive died in my toshiba laptop and it was replaced (not before tech for some reason reformatted the Win7 partition... which was 100% un-needed, but thats beside the point now. I redid win7 (the tech installed vista) and am TRYING to "redo grub". Facts: The Slackware AND Ubuntu Partitions ARE STILL THERE and when i use SuperGrub Boot CD (which doesn't restore my grub by itself) to boot into slackware, i can see ALL THE CONTENT of both Linuxes still there including grub on ubuntu partition
(Tri-Boot: Ubuntu, Slackware, and WIn7) I had it working for two years or so, SO i know this "setup" works fine. I am A) Trying to do this as simply as possible. B) Trying to avoid the need to download a 800MB ISO (as seen for this issue on this forum) and trying not to have to reformat Ubuntu Partition (though I have the .Debs I have downloaded for it backed up ... all 1.7GB of them) I have /dev/sda1 as win7, /dev/sda2 as Slack and /dev/sda3 as Ubuntu (which contains Grub Legacy).. Every command I do seems to result in an error like "invalid command" or "invalid Execution format " (i think that second one is right) type errors. I compiled (awhile back) a few kernels for Slackware, but feel goofy that I cant figure what i this out (what i thought was going to be a "2 minute" fix)
I spent quite a lot of time jumping from one thread to another trying to fix a problem with my NVIDIA drivers in Lucid. I was getting the error message on startup: NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module ...Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) No drivers available".
After a lot of trial and error, this is what worked for me (I have updated this thread following [URL]):
- Download the latest NVIDIA driver from www.nvidia.com/page/drivers.html
- In the terminal cd to the directory where you downloaded the driver package (e.g., $ cd Downloads)and make it executable (e.g., $ sudo chmod +x ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run)
I updated kernel and everything seemed ok, except HD-PVR is locking up and recording only two minutes of every show it records. So, I have gone back to my previous kernel, but it seems that X isn't starting:
Code:
(II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 195.36.31 Thu Jun 3 08:27:29 PDT 2010 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs

Fatal server error:no screens found I had done a yum install kmod-nvidia for the newer kernel. I am thinking I need to get the kmod for the current kernel again (2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 30 19:46:25 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), but am not sure how that is done?
I have an old Dell Optiplex GX240 running Windows XP hooked up to my Olevia HDTV. I'd like to format this computer and install Ubuntu 10.04.After burning the Ubuntu install disk, I hook the computer to the tv via HDMI and reboot to the CDROM but upon booting I receive an 'Invalid Format' error and no video is shown.I did some searching - there is very little info about this problem. This post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1063217 seems to indicate that the solution is to hook up the computer to an old CRT monitor, then after the computer has booted, switch the HDMI cable to the tv.This solution is unsatisfactory. Does anyone have experience with this problem? Is there another way to get around this problem?
We are using LPC3250 ARM9 and LTIB for building the Linux 2.6.27.8 We have written some code to access GPIO and was working earlier with opensuse 9.0 We now have fedora 11 32 bit 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i686.PAE When we make the program we get following errors we are using GCC3.4.5
I compiled a fresh install of httpd on a new linux box, added a virtual hosts entry for an https site, but when I try to start apache I get the error:
Code:
Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Is this because I don't have mod_ssl compiled in?
I've searched all over the internet and have found numerous threads on this topic, none of which have helped me fix the problem. I'll post as much info I can about my setup.I have 3 hard drives... one is for ubuntu (9.10), one is for my data, and one is for Windows7. It looks like this:
1st drive (hda) = ubuntu 2nd drive (hdb) = data 3rd drive (hdc) = windows
I have installed win xp(sda1) win 2003(sda2), centos 5 (sda7) and mint 5(sda5) on 4 partitions and swap (sda6).All OS work fine except centos 5. When from the boot menu I choose Centos 5, I get the following error:File system type is ext2fs, partition type 8x83.Kernel /boot/vmlinuz 2.6.18.92.el5xem root/dev/sda7Error 13 invalid or unsupprted excecutable formatBut I 'm sur that I have format /dev/sda7 as ext3
I am getting following error "Invalid command 'ProxyHTMLEnable', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" Saw this thread in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ I see
I am getting this error when trying to start apache. This is on a server that was functioning but now, when I tried to restart the server, this error shows up when trying to start the httpd service. The command that is causing the error is: CustomLoglogs/rosewood.access combined However, my guess is that it has something to do with either a module not being loaded or something wrong with the setup. But, as I said, this server was running so I am really not sure what changed. Server is Apache 2.0.52.
I've been googling all afternoon to fix this error I get. The situation is as follows: I have multiple harddrives (3x320gb and 1x160gb) all on the SATA interface. One of these drives contains Windows, and the rest I use for programs and downloads. I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 from a USB-stick using the installer's partitioner to make some room for Ubuntu (Ext4 filesystem). I've tried Ubuntu and SUSE in the past.
