Compiling a specific module without compiling whole of the kernel

[kanishk rastogi <kanishk_rastogi85@xxxxxxxxx>]

how do i compile a specific module without compiling
the whole of the kernel

i tried it by making the make file

obj-m :=scsi_debug.o

and using the command

make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.12/
M='/usr/src/linux-2.6.12/drivers/scsi/' modules
all being according to the pwd

the module got compiled but while inserting it gave
the error


insmod: error inserting 'scsi_debug.ko': -1 Invalid
module format

thanks
