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 command line to build the
module.

gcc -c -D__KERNEL__ hello.c

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.

Michael
