2. you probably specified to build the root filesystem [generally its ext2) (or even ext3 if you are like me...) into "modules". That doesnt work, since atleast the root filesystem needs to be inbuilt into the kernel(i.e. say "y" rather than "m" for the root filesystem that you use). basically the idea is that the modules are "read" from the root filesystem, so if you read even the root filesystem modules from the root, it becomes more of a chicken vs egg problem, thereby causing the error...
Thanks, that was the real problem, how silly of me to have done that. Well, I was just looking at the Linux Device Drivers book and I tried the first example with the new kernel built without versioning support but it is unable to do insmod, because the kernel complains about version mismatch. Seems, __NO_VERSION__ support has been removed. But, I can force the module to load using -f though. Sorry, this is slightly different from the main topic though. Any ideas on this one.
