Hi this is happening because u have compiled your module for kernel 2.4.20-8 (redhat 9.0) .now ur installing that module on kernel 2.4.20 which is different from kernel 2.4.20-8 (redhat 9.0). please compile ur code with following command (for example i am taking ur source file name as module.c) : gcc -c module.c -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include then to install module give command : insmod module.o notes:- a> if u have already defined __KERNEL__ & MODULE in ur source file then u can skip those here. b> -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include in this linux-2.4.20 points to ur kernel in /usr/src directory .If u have some othername for ur kernel in /usr/src e.g linux then u shld define as -I/usr/src/linux/include for assistance refer 2nd chapter of linux device driver book , rubini . --- Sudeep Sudha <sudeep_246@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > hi kernel friends > > I wrote, compiled a small hello world prog on my > system which runs Red Hat Linux 9.0, kernel version > 2.4.20-8.
