    Hi,

    I'm new to Linux module dev, I copied a very simple module from a book
    (http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD2/ch02.lwn) and I can't insert it into the
    kernel.

    I found hundreds of bug reports about it on google without any solution.
    I must be doing something wrong...

    /*----------mymodule.c-----------*/
    #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"); }
    /*----------EOF-----------*/

    # gcc -c mymodule.c
    # insmod mymodule.o
    insmod: error inserting 'mymodule.o': -1 Invalid module format

    Thanks a lot

    steph
