Dear Kumaran,

Try to compile with the below makefile

*"

obj-m += hello-1.o

all:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean"

*This was the one I tried first, but it didn't work. The code suggested by
Prashant worked. I just want to know why the above code doesn't work.

Regards
Sharief

Thanks sir, It worked. But still I couldn't understand what is the wrong in
the makefile given in TLDP.org, also the if statements as said in the
previous mail.
One more thing can I install the new kernel in a virtual machine like
virtual box? if so how can I do it? coz I can't access Internet from that
kernel. Suggesting some measures will be helpful.
