Thanks but I have googled and read that document. I was having problems so I thought that I would post to the list. One problem I was having was that I wanted to pass two parameters, and then use another variable to store those parameters multiplied together. I get an error that says: initializer element is not a constant Also, I know how to store values on startup, but I do not know how to pass values to the module upon startup. Is there anyone that can actually help me? > Hi, > > check out http://www.faqs.org/docs/kernel/ > specifically 2.6 > > Give google a try before putting on the list. > > HTH, > Aniruddha Patwardhan > http://aniruddha.talk.to > > On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 08:06, Josh Berry wrote: >> I am playing around with writing basic Loadable Modules and am trying to >> figure out how to write the module to accept parameters at load time. >> Like insmode <module_name> <parameters>. >> >> A Simple Example: >> >> Load the module and pass it the parameter of 100 and 10, the module >> divides 100 by ten, and then inputs the value to a syslog facility >> (printk(KERN_ALERT "%d", value); >> >> This is probably an incredibly simple exercise, but I am very new to >> playing with kernel development. >> >> Thanks >> -- >> Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. >> Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ >> FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/ >> > > > Thanks, Josh Berry, CTO LinkNet-Solutions 469-831-8543 josh.berry@linknet-solutions.com -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
