--5mCyUwZo2JvN/JJP Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Is there anything which can be done in -stable to prevent new kernels from accepting old linux.ko modules? At some point in the past 3 months something changed in the kernel causing the old module to panic at runtime in elf_linux_fixup(). Yes, people should be upgrading their old modules when they upgrade the kernel, but it's an obvious source of confusion if you forget or don't realise you're actually using the module.
