Subject: kernel module compilation error
Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 17:21:21 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f234e2140905150451r734dc0b4hb6771060c495aca3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello All,

I upgraded the Linux kernel version from 2.6.20 to 2.6.23 on eval
board mpc8313erdb. Then I wrote a simple hello_world kernel module for
testing but when I do make it gives following compilation error.
Whereas I did not had this problem with kernel 2.6.20 !!!

It says; 'include/asm/current.h:35: error: invalid register name for =91cur=
rent=92'

Following is complete error log

to resolve this issue ? ? ?
