Hi there again, Thanks Anil and Mr. Perego for the replies. Let me start with saying that this is was my first xperience on a mailing list and am damned impressed with the kind of help one can get from here. Well yes Mr. Anil, am returning 0 and here is the code that I typed. #define MODULE # include <linux/module.h> int init_module(void) { printk {<1>"Hello World\n"}; return 0; } void cleanup_module(void) { printk {<1> bye bye"); } Thank You.
