I am facing some problem in inseting kernel modules on Fedora 4
distribution(2.6.11). I am able to compile the code properly and a X.ko
file is successfully generated. However, when I call "modprobe X.ko", the

I tried debugging the problem and did a ld X.ko, which results in pointing
out some weird errors:
X.ko(.text+0x10291):include/linux/slab.h: undefined reference to __kmalloc
linux_module.h: undefined reference to kfree
linux_module.h: undefined reference to printk
And many more like that.
Why are not these kernel utilies getting linked properly inspite of
successful compilation?
I would appreciate any help and would also be glad to provide details.
How are you building the modules? In a separate directory with a minimal
Makefile (as suggested by the release notes), or in a full kernel tree?
Explain your procedure please.
How/where are you installing the module after building it? What exact
commands do you run?
P.S. Please do not top-post on this mailing list (see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MailingListRules#replying)
