RE: Insmod problems

RE: Insmod problems

[Tyler BIRD]

in linux/module.h header file
KERNEL_VERSION is defined.

what you need to do is make sure the directory /usr/include is a link
to the include directory in your kernel source and not the header files os some other kernel.

if you cant do that try something like this

___NO_VERSION___
#include <linux/module.h>
KERNEL_VERSION(major,minor,release)

>>> Michael Zhu <apiggyjj@yahoo.ca> 12/04/01 11:13AM >>>
I've changed my source file like this:
#define MODULE

#include <linux/module.h>

int init_module(void)  { printk("<1>Hello, world\n");
return 0; }
void cleanup_module(void) { printk("<1>Goodbye cruel
world\n"); }

And I use the following message to build the module.
But when I use insmod to load the module I got the
following error message:

hello.o : kernel-module version mismatch
         hello.o was compiled for kernel version
2.4.12
         while this kernel is version 2.4.8

What is wrong? My kernel version is 2.4.8. Is there
something wrong with the gcc compilier? My gcc
compilier is gcc-2.95.

Thanks to everyone. Your help is very beneficial to
me.

You're not picking up the correct kernel header files.  Don't allow GCC to pick
up the files from "/usr/include/linux":

$ gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -c -D__KERNEL__ hello.c

Is your kernel configured with module versioning ?

RE: Insmod problems

[Michael Zhu]

I've changed my source file like this:
#define MODULE

#include <linux/module.h>

int init_module(void)  { printk("<1>Hello, world\n");
return 0; }
void cleanup_module(void) { printk("<1>Goodbye cruel
world\n"); }

And I use the following message to build the module.
But when I use insmod to load the module I got the
following error message:

hello.o : kernel-module version mismatch
         hello.o was compiled for kernel version
2.4.12
         while this kernel is version 2.4.8

What is wrong? My kernel version is 2.4.8. Is there
something wrong with the gcc compilier? My gcc
compilier is gcc-2.95.

Thanks to everyone. Your help is very beneficial to

Re: Insmod problems

[Tyler BIRD]

Try this

―--------

#define MODULE

#include <linux/module.h>
int init_module(void) { printk("<1>Hello World"); return 0;}
void cleanup_module(void) {printk("<1>Goodbye cruel world\n"); }
―---

gcc -c -D__KERNEL__ hello.c

compiled and loaded fine on my system

I think linux/module.h defines
the kernel version. Make sure that you have the kernel source headers installed under /usr/include
which is a link to /usr/src/linux/include.

you oughta put the above include/module.h at the begining of your source.



Also there has been a macro lately to
delate which routines will be init_module, cleanup_module22
