I don't think that is the issue. I've MODULE_LICENSE macro on one of the file. If I modify the Makefile and remove sillymod_test.o which has a small test function, this module works. This Makefile produces two .ko (sillymod.ko and sillymod_test.ko) files. This is wrong. I think I'm doing everything correct according to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt. /kmk On 4/20/05, K.R.

For more information see http://www.faqs.org/docs/kernel/x145.html Also, as far as kernel tainting is concerned look into more details for MODULE_LICENSE in the same Linux Kernel Module Programming guide.
