Yes definitely you can load a module from anywhere in directory structure but refereeing using either absolute or relative path. Once the module is loaded it is not concerned with from where or how it has been loaded. So the problem with you 'mmap' syscall implementation is not concerned with something related to loading. It might be due to some other thing. You can load using either 'insmod' or 'modprobe' commands.

I have some doubts with module loading. I have a char device and a module that works with it in a specific directory but I want to load the module from elsewhere in my user's directories tree, so, my question is, can I load a module being for example at /home/user/directory1 when I have created my module and I have the object file in /home/user/module_1. And one more question, if I'm implementing a specific mmap syscall for my new module and when I try to use it I get an error in mmap syscall if I'm not at the directory where the object module file is, how can I solve this? TIA. _________________________________________________________________ Acepta el reto MSN Premium: Protección para tus hijos en internet.
