}

module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);


the above is simple one..
help me, where i have to start and what is wrong with me

Have you got the right development files for your system?
Try or if you already have it, then try again.

Hi,

Most device drivers are built into the kernel itself. Most likely you should be looking for a package with kernel sources for the kernel you are running. Generally it is not good idea to mix kernel header files from one version to another. You can check the exact version you are running with command 'uname -r'. Then try to locate either the kernel headers package or entire kernel sources for that version.
