[Click] Problems Installing Click Kernel Module

[dmoore7@nd.edu]

Thanks for the help, I successfully installed and booted 2.6.16.13
I also completed the patching and re-compiling and booting of that kernel
following the instructions for preparing the kernel for kernel-mode Click.

However, once I recompiled click and attempted to run click-install, I received
the following error:

# click-install ./conf/test.click
insmod: error inserting '/usr/local/lib/proclikefs.ko': -1 Invalid module
formatclick-install: '/sbin/insmod /usr/local/lib/proclikefs.ko' failed

I presume this indicates some error in either how I patched the kernel, or how I
configured click.  I did not notice any declared errors in any of the
configurations and setups I had done, although in the many pages of
fast-scrolling stuff it did I might have missed something if it did not draw
attention to itself.

Any suggestions on how I might right this issue with click-install not
functioning are appreciated.
