Thread: What's wrong with my Kernel Mod!?!?!?!

Inserting it gives the correct output in /var/log/messages/ but when I try to remove it, it KILLS it and makes it unremovable!!! This screws up a whole lot of other things like my start up sometimes as well.

Code:

#include <linux/module.h>	/* Needed by all modules */#include <linux/kernel.h>	/* Needed for KERN_INFO */
#include <linux/init.h>


static int hello2_data __initdata = 2;


static int __init hello_2_init(void)
{
  printk("My Name: Loading Hello%d module - Hello World %d\n",hello2_data,hello2_data);
  return 0;


}


static void __exit hello_2_exit(void)
{
  printk("My Name: Exiting Hello%d module - Goodbye World %d\n",hello2_data,hello2_data);
}


module_init(hello_2_init);
module_exit(hello_2_exit);

I want it to print the exitting statement when I rmmod hello_2 but that command just KILLS it and I have to restart to remove it and the exitting message doesnt get put into the /var/log/message/

i get some weird output when I do cat /var/log/messages | grep hello

Any ideas?

It's complaining that you haven't specified a license via the MODULE_LICENSE() macro. As far the message I believe you need to supply some sort of level, such as KERN_INFO which may be why it's not printing out (at least where you'd expect).

See this example:
Hello World Kernel Module | Kernel Module Hello World

Also, this is the wrong forum, there is a linux specific forum.
