Are you building it out of tree?Hi all,
I am trying to port a kernel module from 2.6.23 kernel to 2.6.32 kernel.
While inserting the module , it shows an error :
insmod : error inserting 'module.ko' : -1 Unknown symbol in module
I checked in /var/log/messages for the unknown symbol and it shows,
module : no symbol version for function_name
Can anybody explain what is this error and how to resolve this error ?

Your module is trying to use an exported symbol, perhaps it is a symbol exported from another module, for cases like this modprobe works better than insmod. Try modprobe and it should works.
