ck201 2018-03-25 10:15 reporter ~0008964	I found the key. I removed the default linux-header with version 4.14.17 then installed the 4.14.13 manually. Error disappeard. So I think the linux-header's version newer than kernel caused this problem. Thanks.

rhertzog 2018-03-26 23:05 administrator ~0008966	This version mismatch is unfortunate, in general the ABI is not broken without bumping the ABI version. In any case, we can't do anything about this at this point. We're close to switching to 4.15.x.
