My test module is failing to load
 

Hi Team,

Please assist, I'm trying initialise my very first module (test module) and I keep getting the below error:

insmod: error inserting "nothing.c": -1 Invalid module format

I'm using Fedora 8 and the name of my module is nothing.

I'll greatly appreciate your assistance.

Hi PercyZA and welcome to LQ.

If nothing.c is a source file, as its name make me assume, sure the error message is sound.

The module should first be compiled against the kernel source you are using. Is it?
