i have compile a module for linux . i have red-hat linux 2.4.20-8 somewhat like this version kernel. and when i compile that module for
linux, the module version is 2.4.20 only so when i insert the module it
gives the error version of module is differt from the kernel version .
so can anybody tell me how i could compile that module so that its version is similar to my kernel version as i compile that module on my
kernel version 2.4.20-8 but module is compiled with differnt version.

after you make your kernel do
make modules

z i have not make the kernel . the kernel is of red -hat
i have only make the module but the version in which it is compiled is not same as the kernel version

Ah OK,

Then you'll want to install the module for the same version of the kernel that you're running. You should be able to download it from the kernel archive:

 Hi, new here, and having trouble with hello-1.c compliling.
I am using Fedora Core 4 (2.6.11 kernel version), and here is my hello-1.c
/*
 * hello#8722;1.c #8722; The simplest kernel module
 */
#define KERN_INFO
        module_LICENSE("GPL"); //also tried MODULE_LINCENSE("GPL");

#include <linux/module.h> /* Needed by all modules */
#include <linux/kernel.h> /* Needed for KERN_INFO */
int init_module(void)
{
        printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world 1.\n");
        /*
         * A non 0 return means init_module failed; module can't be loaded.
         */
        return 0;
}
void cleanup_module(void)
{
        printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye world 1.\n");
}
 here is my make file
CFLAGS = -D __KERNEL__ -D MODULE -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/
$ hello-1.o: hello-1.c
        gcc $(CFLAGS) -O2 -Wall -c hello-1.c
.PHONY: clean
clean:
        rm -rf *.o a.out

gcc -D __KERNEL__ -D MODULE -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/ -O2 -Wall -c hello-1.c
hello-1.c:5: error: syntax error before string constant
hello-1.c:5: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘module_LICENSE’
hello-1.c:5: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
In file included from /usr/include/linux/module.h:10,
                 from hello-1.c:7:

hello-1.c: In function ‘init_module’:

make: *** [hello-1.o] Error 1

Here is the output from the screen.

Thanks for the help.
