Creating dd (driver disk) for FC5, installer "disagrees about version of symbol struct_module"

Hi!

I'm trying to build Qlogic qla4xxx HBA driver (floppy dd image) for FC5, using
ddiskit 0.9.5.

I've successfully built the dd image for 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 and 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp
kernels. I had to manually add "modules.pcimap" and "pci.ids" files to the
generated image.. otherwise the FC5 installer complained that those files
are missing from the dd image.

When I boot FC5 CD with "linux dd", and try to load the driver disk, the
installer doesn't load the driver.. If I try to load the driver manually
with insmod (when in the installer) I get:

qla4xxx: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module

modinfo says:

"vermagic:       2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1"

Is that correct? Looks like correct to me..

Is there something special compilation flags or something that I should be
using.. ?

Thanks!
