RE: [LINUX-KERNEL] Problem loading any custom driver

["Libershteyn, Vladimir" <vladimir.libershteyn@hp.com>]

Here is a makefile
-------------------------------------------------
#
# Makefile for the Los Angeles PCI Adapter
# This file supports Red Hat Linux kernel 2.6(included) and above
#
HPATH := /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.EL-i686/include
CFLAGS = -I$(HPATH) -Wall -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c
CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) -DHOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DHOST_SIZE_32

obj-m += atf_host.o
-------------------------------------------------

Our group does not have ability to put files for outside access.
Can you specify what parts of the code you need me to attach?
Im not familiar with rules, is it allowed to attach source files?

Regards,
Vlad

you forgot to put a URL to your source code.......

however it strongly points towards a broken Makefile on your side.... if
we'd have that URL I could say for sure ..
