2.6.0 module differences

[Paul Gearon <pag@pisoftware.com>]

Hi all,

I finally bit the bullet and moved to 2.6.0-test9, only now I find 
myself back to square one with the modules I've written.

The modules I compiled for 2.4.x are all built as .o files, but I notice 
that the modules for the new kernel are .ko files.  Also, while my 
modules compile fine, I get an error when doing an insmod:
   insmod: error inserting 'modulename.o': -1 Invalid module format

This is all to be expected, and I was anticipating making changes to my 
code with the move to the 2.6.x series.  However, it would be nice if 
someone could point me to some docs which will get me up to speed 
quickly, rather than having to sift through documents for days looking 
for this stuff.

Can anyone help please?
