hi,
I have just started to learn Kernel Module Programming from Linux kernel
Module Programming Guide.But I am facing a problem in loading the module
in the kernel.
The code is as follows:
/* hello.c */
#include<linux/module.h>
#include<linux/kernel.h>
#include<linux/init.h>
//#define MODULE
//#define __KERNEL__
static int hello_init(void){
printk(KERN_ALERT "loaded in the kernel\n");
return 0 ;
}
static void hello_exit(void){
printk(KERN_ALERT "successfully unloaded\n");
}
module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);
The source file is hello.c
The kernel version against which it is compiled is : 2.6.4
The kernel against which it is loaded is : 2.6.4
The command and command line options used for compiling are as follows:
gcc -o2 -c hello.c -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__
-isystem/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
But when i try to load the module in the kernel it gives the following
error :
No module found in object
insmod : error inserting 'hello.o ' : -1 invalid module format
Am I missing something ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pankaj
