hi
i compiled the device driver program bfin_adv7393fb.c and the .ko
and .o files are generated.after that while loading the module using
insmod "bfin_adv7393fb.ko" it gives the following errors:::::::
insmod: error inserting "bfin_adv7393fb.ko"-1 invalid module format
help me to solve this........

What revision is your compile kernel (the one you are using to compile the
module), what revision is your runtime kernel (the one that runs on your
target)? Are they different? If "yes", that can't work (most of the time).

"invalid module format" sounds like you try to load a 2.6 kernel module into
a running 2.4 kernel...

Try to boot your new kernel you built to create the adv module. Then try to
load the module again.
