Solved.
 
Finally, the problem was in the debian package coming from the PPA which was referencing 'standard' headers instead of patched headers. I manually patched and built the kernel and everything works fine.

Objet : [etherlab-users] Error loading generic module on kernel 3.2.0 withRT-Preempt


Hello,
 
I'm trying to use the IgH EtherCAT Master on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm using the 3.2.0 kernel with RT-Preempt patches from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/realtime <https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/realtime> . During compilation of the kernel modules, I get the following warnings:
 
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 3 modules
WARNING: "ecrt_slave_config_state" [/home/hamelinp/devroot/ethercat-1.5.1-rt/examples/mini/ec_mini.ko] undefined!

  LD [M]  /home/hamelinp/devroot/ethercat-1.5.1-rt/master/ec_master.ko
 
 
Indeed, when trying to load the module I get this error:
 
FATAL: Error inserting ec_generic (/lib/modules/3.2.0-23-realtime-pae/ethercat/devices/ec_generic.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
 
and in dmesg:
 
[ 2487.244002] EtherCAT: Master driver 1.5.1 0f7a243b03e4
[ 2487.244013] EtherCAT: 0 masters waiting for devices.
[ 2487.244114] ec_generic: Unknown symbol _raw_read_unlock (err 0)
[ 2487.244122] ec_generic: Unknown symbol _raw_read_lock (err 0)

Using this command:
 
cat /proc/kallsyms | grep raw_read_unlock
 
I can confirm that these symbols are not available. However, I have a 'rt_read_unlock' available in the symbols table.
 
Any hint?
 
Thank you,
