Cannot Load Kernel Loadable MOdule...

[mohit.saha]

hi everybody,

I tried to create a new module as given in http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/lkmpg.html, hello-1.c.

Code: [Select]

/* 
 *  hello-1.c - The simplest kernel module.
 */
#include <linux/module.h> /* Needed by all modules */
#include <linux/kernel.h> /* Needed for KERN_INFO */

int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world 1.\n");

/*
* A non 0 return means init_module failed; module can't be loaded.
*/
return 0;
}

void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye world 1.\n");
}
and then created the Makefile as

Code: [Select]

obj-m += hello-1.o

all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
and then make that... but the following errors are coming:

can u suggest what is the problem?
Also if anyone can suggest me gd book on Kernel Module Programming for LInux 2.6..

Thanks in advance...

I inserted the code:

Code: [Select]

/* 
 *  hello-1.c - The simplest kernel module.
 */
#include <linux/module.h> /* Needed by all modules */
#include <linux/kernel.h> /* Needed for KERN_INFO */

int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world 1.\n");

/*
* A non 0 return means init_module failed; module can't be loaded.
*/
return 0;
}

void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye world 1.\n");
}


module_init(init_module);
module_exit(cleanup_module);

but it is still giving some error...
