hello,I have a little problem after do as you suggest:

Create a makefile like this :
KERNELDIR = /usr/src/linux-2.4  (change this according to your Kernel dir)
.......

 

when i insmod ./hello.o,the kernel says like this:

no liscense,the kernel will be tainted,

module hello loaded with warning

The 'tainted' problem and solution has described here ..
http://www.linux.com/guides/lkmpg/x317.shtml

 

and I didn't see any message which should be printed by "printk"in init_module method,

how should I solve the problem

You may be running your insmod or rmmod from an xterm, then it will
not be printed in your TTY. It will go to system log files, say
/var/log/messages.
