Hi,

First of all - thanks to ALLurGroceries for the instructions. I followed them as well and also got the 'Invalid module format'. I was able to find this out:

# modinfo drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko | fgrep vermagic
vermagic: 2.6.31.9 SMP mod_unload modversions

# modinfo psmouse | fgrep vermagic
vermagic: 2.6.31-20-generic SMP mod_unload modversions

# uname -r
2.6.31-20-generic

The /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31.tar.bz2 contains a Makefile that has EXTRAVERSION=.9 instead of -20-generic. My system is up-to-date. I am not familiar with kernel compiling so I don't know why this is or if I could/should change the Makefile myself.

Can anyone provide a hint?

Thanks,
Erik
