Error inserting module.


Hi Guys,

I am having a problem while inserting a particular module. Following are some prints :-

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Load module stos_core [?] by insmod (pid 1230)
Load module stsys_ioctl [252] by insmod (pid 1234)
Load module stcommon_core [?] by insmod (pid 1245)
Load module sttbx_core [?] by insmod (pid 1249)
Load module stavmem_core [?] by insmod (pid 1253)
insmod: error inserting '/root/mohitd/HDK7108_7108/modules/stavmem_core.ko': -1
Operation not permitted

I am using STLinux-2.4 Distribution, kernel 2.6

I have changed the access permissions on all the .ko as rwx. Still I am getting the problem.

Can somebody please help me out.

Please tell us how you compiled the kernel. How did you manage to put the module in /root instead of /lib/modules?

Actually I compiled the kernel for the target, that is, Set Top Box Board. And, linux kernel is booting on the target ,so are the modules.

Well now, I have got the problem and it's been fixed. Kernel memory space was overlapping with the memory space stavmem_core.ko was assigning for avmem( audio video memory). Thanks.
