I finally bit the bullet and moved to 2.6.0-test9, only now I find myself back to square one with the modules I've written.
The modules I compiled for 2.4.x are all built as .o files, but I notice that the modules for the new kernel are .ko files. Also, while my modules compile fine, I get an error when doing an insmod:
insmod: error inserting 'modulename.o': -1 Invalid module format
This is all to be expected, and I was anticipating making changes to my code with the move to the 2.6.x series. However, it would be nice if someone could point me to some docs which will get me up to speed quickly, rather than having to sift through documents for days looking for this stuff.
Can anyone help please?
