Hi .. i wnat to learn a bit of kernel programming in linux. basically i wan to goto the level of writing deviced drivers for linux... not more than that. can anyone tell me how to start off. dont tell me to read thru the kernel src .. its overhead projection ..

I have a book O'reilly pbs; linux device drivers.. by a.rubini... but it doesnt give me what i expect

Hello .. I am also interested in kernel programming and have been reading an O'rielly book on device drivers by Alessandro.
However I have been facing certain problems.
I have tried to compile a sample code on an i686 P4 machine. I have tried it on Redhat 7.3 as well as on Redhat 9.0.
On both these distributions, I get an error message that my compiler version and my kernel version don't match and so I can't insmod the .o file that I creat.
Does anybody have a solution!!!!!!!!!!
