[uClinux-dev] Module Loading Problem - Simple Hello World Module...

Hello all,

I have written and run some simple device driver modules before
without any
problem.  However, a simple hello world module (like the one in the
device
driver book), which simply prints out some greeting message, gives me
trouble...  I tried the same code on my native Linux box and it worked
fine.

I can "insmod" the module correctly but the console does not print out
the message.
When I did a "lsmod", the console showed the module was
"initializing".  I could not
"rmmod" it, which gave "Unknown error".

I put the module in "linux-2.4.x/drivers/char/" and also modified the
corresponding
Config.in and Makefile to include it in the kernel configuration/build
process just
like what I did for other drivers.  The module stays in the
"initializing" stage.

I could not find related messages about this problem.  I tried it with
both uClibc and
uC-libc but the results were the same.

I am using ARM uClinux 2.4.x in uClinux-dist-20020502.

Any idea?


Brian
