Hello All

 I tried to compile a module for lirc serial:
-I installed a kernelsource for nvidia from linuxiant
-I did             make oldconfig
-I did             ./configure menuconfig
-I did             make modules
-No troubles at all, everything compiled

a install of the lirc program as it should............(to my best knowledge....)
afterwards a modprobe lirc_serial

THEN i got the following error 

WARNING: Error inserting lirc_dev (/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427.8kstacks/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427.8kstacks/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Invalid module format

info of the kernel makefile:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 6
EXTRAVERSION = -1.427.8kstackscustom
NAME=Zonked Quokka

info concerning the module:

description:    LIRC base driver module
author:         Artur Lipowski
license:        GPL
vermagic:       2.6.6-1.427.8kstackscustom 686 REGPARM gcc-3.3
depends:

Is this problem related to the vermagic????? and extraversion?????
or am I missing something else?????

To my knowledge the mistake I am making is not related specific to lirc therefore my post on this list.

With kind regards
