Hello everyone,

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

I have followed the following step.

Downloaded Linux kernel 2.6.35-rc5
    

If you are running a distribution like most people be sure you grab
the kernel from the distro you are using and not from kernel.org.

Robert Day's site has enough free lessons to do what you want and its
more recent.  I think he is using Ubuntu for a distro.

That resolved the error. Actually I was building the module for the newly
compiled kernel, but should have built for the kernel I am running on my
system.

Thanks for the link !
