Invalid module format.

[Jose Luis Alarcon <jlalarcon@tiggerfan.com>]

  Hi guys.

  I have this module, taken from http://lwn.net/Articles/21817

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

static int hello_init(void)
{
  printk(KERN_ALERT "Hello, world\n");
  return 0;
}

static void hello_exit(void)
{
  printk(KERN_ALERT "Goodbye, cruel world\n");
}

module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);

  I compile it with this Makefile, suggested too in LWN:

KERNELDIR = /usr/src/linux
CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I$(KERNELDIR)/include -O
module_hello.o: module_hello.c

and when i do 'insmod module_hello.o' i get:

Error inserting 'module_hello.o': -1 Invalid module format

  ¿Where is the error?. I use module-init-tools 0.9.10.

  Thanks, very much, in advance.

  Regards.

  Jose.
