hi anil, i think it's the other way around.... i.e the modules is being compiled for a 2.4.20 (a typical modversions prob.!)...whereas the one ver. of the kernel from which he's trying to "insmod" is the std. RH 9 (2.4.20-8). And it's advisable not to use kernel source headers, rather the path for your header files should be /lib/modules/<kernel ver.#>/build/include/ HTH, -mandeep On Wed, 2005-01-26 at 23:50, anil dahiya wrote: > 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.
