Hi PLUG,
I have a problem with loading a miodule into tha kernel using "insmod"
can any one help me in this matter ?
I have checked every thing regarding this,
firstly i have complied the file sample.c
####################################
#define MODULE
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
int init_module (void) { printk ( "<1> HELLO WORLD\n"); return 0;}
void cleanup_module(void) { printk ( "<1> BYE WORLD\n "); }
####################################
# gcc -c sample.c
i got the object file as sample.o
but when i try to load that module into kernel it gives me an error
saying the following ::
#insmod sample.o
insmod: error inserting 'sample.o': -1 Invalid module format
I read some where that 2.6 doesnt support the '.o' extension and only
supports '.ko' extension so i build the object as 'sample.ko' but
still i am unable to load my module into the kernel. i get the same
error :
#insmod sample.ko
insmod: error inserting 'sample.ko': -1 Invalid module format
Kindly help me in this matter.
Many thanks for any help in this matter.
Thanks and Regards,
Phani.
