How to run a hello world module

[Chaitannya Mahatme <chaitannya@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to compile a hello world module given over here

I have followed the following step.

1. Downloaded Linux kernel 2.6.35-rc5
2. extracted to directory /general/source/linux
3. Complied the entire kernel.
4. created a dir test in the linux folder.
5. Created and complied a hello world module as mentioned there.

when I run the insmod command, I get this error

insmod: error inserting 'hello.ko': -1 Invalid module format

What I have read is that the error is result of kernel mismatch. How do I sort out this error?

Also please suggest some tools to detect and resolve these kind of errors

Regards,
