nope - dammit. it's something else. i'd changed two options rather than
one - one of them being "preemptible". the other one i _think_ i changed
was kernel module versioning.

i'm getting insmod errors: invalid module format(-1): Exec format error
and:
"disagrees about version of symbol struct_module".

I'm having the same problem with 2.6.11.4 on ixp42x.
insmod fails. I've even updated to the latest snapshot to work around it,
still no happiness

I turned off load all symbs for debugging, and finally I get a insmod that
works in busybox, with latest cvs and 2.6.11.6 linux.

you guys need to verify that it isnt your system that's completely screwed
up
build the insmod from module-init-tools and make sure that it works before
testing busybox insmod

The preemptibility or not of the kernel shouldn't even be _visible_ to
something like busybox. If it makes a difference, it's a kernel bug.
Might have been nice if you'd said which version, or given an example of
what you mean by "fails". But pretty much by definition, this one has to
be the kernel.
