nope - dammit. it's something else. i'd changed two options rather than one - one of them being "preemptible". the other one i _think_ i changed was kernel module versioning.

i'm getting insmod errors: invalid module format(-1): Exec format error
and:
"disagrees about version of symbol struct_module".

I'm having the same problem with 2.6.11.4 on ixp42x.
insmod fails. I've even updated to the latest snapshot to work around it,
still no happiness

I turned off load all symbs for debugging, and finally I get a insmod that works in busybox, with latest cvs and 2.6.11.6 linux.

you guys need to verify that it isnt your system that's completely screwed up

build the insmod from module-init-tools and make sure that it works before testing busybox insmod

The preemptibility or not of the kernel shouldn't even be _visible_ to something like busybox. If it makes a difference, it's a kernel bug.

Might have been nice if you'd said which version, or given an example of what you mean by "fails". But pretty much by definition, this one has to be the kernel.
