'Invalid module format' loading simple module on Suse Linux Professional 9.1
--- I actually have 2 issues ---
1) Whenever I try to load a simple module on Suse Linux Professional 9.1 I get the following message:
insmod: error inserting 'mydev.o': -1 Invalid module format
2) In my source why do I have to have CONFIG_M486 defined? With my RedHat installation at the office I do not have to do this.
Thanks,
Rocket
Below is the source for the simple module followed by the gcc command line:
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#define CONFIG_M486
#include <linux/module.h>
int init_module()
{
/* code to init the module */
return 0;
}
void cleanup_module()
{
/* code to close the module */
}
