No. In this case you'd need new NVidia kernel driver each time kernel's |
| 10 |
version changes. |

|
| 12 |
During installation NVidia's kernel module (in compiler's meaning - .o file |
| 13 |
provided by NVidia) is linked against a freshly compiled stub adopting it to |
| 14 |
running kernel and making kernel module (in kernel's meaning - .ko file). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If you compile kernel and kernel module (.ko) with different compilers, you'll |
| 17 |
get 'invalid module format' and modprobe/insmod fails. |
