I have had this book for a while, but just started reading it. I wish I had started earlier.


This was my problem. With a 2.2.x (or 2.1.x) kernel I could not get even the very first example to work. I trackesd it down and adding
-include /usr/src/linux-2.2.1/include/linux/modversions.h
to the compile string got rid of the "unresolved symbol printk" error.


I hope this will be updated, and I hope this note helps other people with the same problem.


(dual processor, redhat 5.2, kernel 2.2.x triggered this problem)
