[SOLVED] Can't load spl/zfs modules after building against 2.6.32-16-pve headers

[freelancer42]

I'm trying to build the spl/zfs modules, which is working fine with both dkms and building from git (using instructions at http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS). When I try to load them however modprobe says "Invalid module format", and dmesg says "disagrees about version of symbol module_layout". This leads me to believe that I'm building against the wrong headers. Nothing else seems to indicate that I am though... I have a clean install of Proxmox 2.2, uname -r shows 2.6.32-16-pve, and I've installed pve-headers-2.6.32-16-pve. That's also the only kernel headers I have installed.

Is there any difference between the running kernel in Proxmox 2.2 and the headers available in the apt repository? Or am I missing something obvious?

Hi,
the actual kernel for pve 2.2 is 2.6.32-17 - perhaps you should try the same with this kernel and headers...

That's odd... I rebooted the server and yeah, uname -r says 2.6.32-17 now. And everything works just fine. No idea why it was apparently running 2.6.32-16 before, but thanks for nudging me in the right direction!
