Subject2.4 and 2.6 kernel module
In the 2.4 kernel, modules contain the "kernel_version" identification
in the module itself. This is an example from the 2.4.18 reiserfs
kernel module:

kernel_version=2.4.18-27.7.xbigmem
using_checksums=1
description=ReiserFS journaled filesystem
author=Hans Reiser <reiser@namesys.com>
license=GPL
kernel_version=2.4.18-27.7.xbigmem
using_checksums=1


This ID doesn't seem to exist anymore in the 2.6 kernel. How does a
2.6 kernel know if a module is compatible?

Thanks for any help.
