insmod error - Invalid module format

insmod error - Invalid module format

[selvakumar nagendran]

Hi,
   I tried out the simple hello world example module
present in lkmpg.txt (linux module programming guide)
on linux kernel 2.6.9. But I got an error while I
tried to load the created .o file using insmod as
 ' Invalid Module format'
 Can anyone help me regarding this?

Thanks,
selva

Normal modules for 2.6.x use .ko as extension, so an .o would be wrong.

Did you check google? lkmpg.txt may be outdated.

Good luck,
