    Hi all,
             I am writing a simple kernel module dd for a
    memory device for a i386 redhat 8.0 .However i am
    getting a lot of errors when i compile it.

    Here are the compilation flags i have used

    CC=gcc
    KERNELDIR = /usr/src/linux-2.4

    -c -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DLINUX -I
    $(KERNELDIR)/include -O
    Here are the errors i get:

    In file included from memdrv.c:47:
    /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/asm/uaccess.h:35: invalid
    suffix on integer constant
    /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/asm/uaccess.h:35: parse
    error before numeric constant
    /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/asm/uaccess.h:35:
    `__verify_write_R_ver_str' declared as function
    returning a function

    I get a lot of errors like this

    Other than the errors in uacces.h(its the only header
    giving errors),i get the following errors in my code
    wherever i have used kernel specific functions like
    kmalloc ,kfree,printk etc.

    memdrv.c:75: invalid suffix on integer constant
    memdrv.c:75: called object is not a function

    I am using gcc version 3.2.Also i am running kernel
    2.6.0 while i am trying to compile for 2.4.18(i have
    the sources for both)

    Thanks in Advance,
    P.Gokul Krishna.
