tp_smapi broken on thinkpad t510

After the most recent kernel update my tp_smapi module stopped working.  After some googling, I ran depmod and rebuilt the package, and installed again.

Now I get the following error when trying to load:

$ sudo modprobe tp_smapi
FATAL: Error inserting tp_smapi (/lib/modules/3.1.1-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/tp_smapi.ko.gz): Invalid module format

A look at dmesg shows the following:

tp_smapi: version magic '3.0-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload 686 ' should be '3.1.1-1-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload modversions 686

which is the reason I ran depmod in the first place.

There is obviously some kernel version botchery going on here but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Have you tried building it from the PKGBUILD in the AUR?  I'm running a Thinkpad T410s and Kernel 3.1.1 with tp_smapi just fine.  I'm using packer for AUR stuff, so after a kernel upgrade I just run "packer -S tp_smapi" to rebuild the module.

I have tried with the PKGBUILD from AUR.  I can try using packer though.

Next time use the report button and do not cross-post. Please do read our forum rules.
As this is a kernel issue, this subforum is quite fine.

This was fixed through update to kernel 3.1.2-1-ARCH.
