 In other words, your kernel refuses to accept your module because version strings (more precisely, version magics) do not match. Incidentally, version magics are stored in the module object in the form of a static string, starting with vermagic:. Version data are inserted in your module when it is linked against the \textbf{init/vermagic.o} file. To inspect version magics and other strings stored in a given module, issue the modinfo module.ko command:

 To overcome this problem we could resort to the \textbf{--force-vermagic} option, but this solution is potentially unsafe, and unquestionably inacceptable in production modules. Consequently, we want to compile our module in an environment which was identical to the one in which our precompiled kernel was built. How to do this, is the subject of the remainder of this chapter.
