In 2.6.x, modules are named *.ko, and you 'insmod|modprobe *.ko'.
To have *.ko built correctly, read and use ./Documentation/kbuild/{modules.txt,makefiles.txt}.
Here is a working trivial makefile for out-of-tree simple modules:
# makefile for oops_test/dump*.c # Randy Dunlap, 2003-03-12 # usage: # cd /path/to/kernel/source && make SUBDIRS=/path/to/source/oops_test/ modules
obj-m := dump_test.o
# end;

Yes.
| /usr/sbin/insmod -v | module-init-tools version 3.0-pre1 | | /sbin/insmod -V | insmod version 2.4.18 | .... | | | I'm guessing this is happening because the module it seems to be compiling | for is 2.4: | root@dimension# strings gpstest.o | kernel_version=2.4.9-31 | .... | root@dimension# | | I'm using module-init-tools-3.0-pre1, gcc3.0.4, kernel2.6.0
Make sure that the module-init-tools binaries are in $PATH for user=root (and before the older ones if both are there).
