Hello, I am running Fedora 17 on x86_64. I wanted to build bluetooth kernel module for f17 so I could use it under f17.
I did this: download kernel-3.3.4-5.fc17.src.rpm. ran: rpm -ivh kernel-3.3.4-5.fc17.src.rpm rpmbuild -bp /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec It went well.
Then , I went to /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-3.3.fc17/linux-3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64 configure a kernel where CONFIG_BT=m (for bluetooth as a module) and ran "make modules".
However, when I try insmod for /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-3.3.fc17/linux-3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64/net/bluetooth.ko I get "Invalid module format". dmesg shows: ... bluetooth: version magic '3.3.4 SMP mod_unload ' should be '3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64 SMP mod_unload ' ...
In the Makefile I have:
VERSION = 3 PATCHLEVEL = 3 SUBLEVEL = 4 EXTRAVERSION = NAME = Saber-toothed Squirrel
but uname -r shows uname -r 3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64
where is the .4-5 came from ? could it be that applying this rpm has some error in that it does not set extraversion to .5 ?
Any ideas?
rgs, Kevin
Hi, Update: I found a workaround: adding EXTRAVERSION = -5.fc17.x86_64 in the Makefile.
But shouldn't it be so when applying the src.rpm without any change from me ?

No, because you only used RPM to expand the source, then you built a local kernel from that. If you actually build the kernel with RPM as suggested on the custom kernel wiki page, it will do the proper thing.
Also, 3.3.4 is very old even on F17. We're already at 3.5.4 and moving to 3.6 fairly soon. You should likely update.

May I ask what's wrong with, for example, this one?
