[LARTC] Difference of building modules between kernel 2.4.XX and 2.5.XX ???

[LARTC] Difference of building modules between kernel 2.4.XX and 2.5.XX ???

[Yuan ChunYang]

In kernel 2.5, the implementation of building modules  must be changed.
As fellow, i programed a test .
In kernel 2.4.20 ,it's OK! 
But in kenel 2.5.72,you can see:

# insmod testdemo.o
Error inserting 'testdemo.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module

demo: no version magic, tainting kernel.
demo: Unknown symbol myprintk

Now i already installed module_init_tools 0.9.12.

can somebody tell me why?
how to resolve this problem.
thanx firstly. :)
