[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#559622: modules are not usable (likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel)

[Stéphane Glondu]

Package: user-mode-linux
Version: 2.6.30-1um-1+b1
Severity: important

Hello,

I cannot use the modules provided by the user-mode-linux package:

arcturus:~# modprobe ipv6
FATAL: Error inserting ipv6 (/lib/modules/2.6.30/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko): Invalid module format
arcturus:~# dmesg|tail
IRQ 3/console-write: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs
Virtual console 2 assigned device '/dev/pts/7'
IRQ 2/console: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs
IRQ 3/console-write: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs
overflow in relocation type 11 val 80dbe660
`ipv6' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel
overflow in relocation type 11 val 80e82660
`ipv6' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel
overflow in relocation type 11 val 80f46660
`ipv6' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel

Each attempt to load a module results in this "likely not compiled
with -mcmodel=kernel" error message in the kernel log.


Cheers,
