Adding a missing kernel module - spz2k - 01-06-2017
Hi,
I'm making some tests with external harddrive with LVM2 and I need pvmove... but it won't work without dm-mirror. I've checked and this kernel module isn't enabled. So I downloaded the kernel source from (https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/tree/master/kernel) and proceeded to check the dm-mirror module with the menuconfig. Once completed I then made a (make modules) and copied the module in /lib/module/... folder.
Now if I do depmod && modprobe dm-mirror it complains that the format is invalid. I neved had that knind of error... unless I was cross compiling wich i'm not since I built the module on the pine itself.
The exact error is :
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dm_mirror': Exec format error
Any idea about how to fix the problem?

Can you post the output of dmesg while you try to load the module?

It seems to be :
[4004499.905539] dm_mirror: no symbol version for module_layout
[4006301.241369] dm_mirror: no symbol version for module_layout

Did you try to rebuild the kernel (with oldconfig) and modules, then install that? Maybe try if force-loading works...

I did... but it didn't work. Anyway I'm on another type of problem... I updated uboot and the kernel to the latest version... and it doesn't boot anymore. It just load the kernel (at least partially since I see some of the kernel message while booting) then it goes to a black screen and it dies.

this sounds a bit like what i experience at boot. if i turn off monitor most of the time it boots ok.

I tried, but it doesn't boot anymore. I guess it's dead. neither the keyboard nor the lan adapter lights up.

You could also try one of the recent Armbian/Debian images, I use them on most of my Pines... https://www.armbian.com/pine64/
