It is a path issue, you need to specify the entire path to helloworld.ko.

This requires root access (or more accurately, CAP_SYS_MODULE capabilities). That's why your insmod fails. sunil@ubuntu:~/test/drive$ sudo modprobe helloworld FATAL: Module helloworld not found. This is a different action from 'insmod helloworld.ko'. modprobe tries to load the module from /lib/modules/`uname -r`. It's slightly more convenient because it will also load all modules this one depends on. In this case this fails because your module doesn't actually live in /lib/modules/ Try sudo insmod helloworld.ko instead.

Try 'sudo rmmod helloworld' to unload it first. This should generate the 'Goodbye, cruel world' dmesg trace. After that you can load the module again.

Hi kristof, when i executed the below line. i din't get what i suppose to get...the message hello, world.. did i miss any steps sunil@ubuntu:~/test/drive$ sudo insmod helloworld.ko On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 4:34 PM, Kristof Provost kris...@sigsegv.be wrote: On 2013-02-11 16:24:17 (+0530), sunil sunil.slvp...@gmail.com wrote: Have a look at this: donno wats happening: sunil@ubuntu:~/test/drive$ sudo rmmod helloworld sunil@ubuntu:~/test/drive$ lsmod|grep hellow* Binary file helloworld.ko matches Binary file helloworld.o matches This doesn't actually do what you seem to think it does. You're not passing the 'hellow*' argument to grep. The 'hellow*' is first expaned by your shell, so it probably turns that command line into 'lsmod | grep helloworld.c helloworld.o helloworld.ko'. Try using 'lsmod | grep hellow' instead (i.e. without the *). sunil@ubuntu:~/test/drive$ modprobe -r helloworld FATAL: Module helloworld not found. Obviously, because your previous command succeeded. The module is no longer loaded. Regards, Kristof PS: Please don't top-post.

They get logged in the kernel ring buffer. Try 'dmesg' after loading your module.
