Hi,
thought you already had commented out the SMP=1
switch in the makefile!
By uncommenting the switch, a -D__SMP__ will
be added to the CFLAGS and afer recompiling
you should have a driver, that contains the correct
string. Try
strings -a pt_drv.o | grep kernel_version
and you should receive something like:
kernel_version=2.2.16
__module_kernel_version
In your case this should be
kernel_version=2.2.5-22smp
You should also check the file /usr/include/linux/version.h.
Theres an entry like
#define UTS_RELEASE ...
and the file /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h
#define CONFIG_SMP
These files will be modified when configuring
the kernel via make menuconfig...
Check this please.
Gerhard
