Hello,
I send this mail on the list because I got a problem described in [1]
(one month ago) without any solution. I have a possible solution.
I use Debian 2.6.12-1 Linux kernel and manually recompiled pwc-10.0.7a.
If I insert the pwc module I get:
$ sudo insmod ./pwc.ko
insmod: error inserting './pwc.ko': -1 Invalid module format
The interesting part is in dmesg(1) output:
pwc: version magic '2.6.12-1-686 686 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.12-1-686 686
gcc-4.0'
The kernel has been compiled with gcc-4.0 and I was compiling the module
using gcc-3.3. You can get information from the module using:
$ modinfo pwc.ko
filename: pwc.ko
description: Philips & OEM USB webcam driver
author: Luc Saillard <>
license: GPL
alias: pwcx
version: 10.0.7-unofficial
vermagic: 2.6.12-1-686 686 gcc-3.3 <--------- here is the problem
[...]
After installing gcc-4.0 and recompiling the module with it everything
is OK.
Thanks for the great driver.
Bye,
