Sir,
I have written a shell script to convert my test1.o to test1.ko as
done by makefile(I am running this script in target system ie target
kernel). This script is generating the test1.ko for target kernel and
working properly(ie i am able to load the module and access it) for many
version for 2.6 kernels of Mandrake and Redhat but its not working for SuSE.
