insmod failing to insert a simple module

How to check correct headers, and when I download or clone the latest
kernel don't they provide the headers along with kernel ?

Thanks,
Madhu

Did you verify that you are building your module against the correct

Hi All,

While inserting a kernel module, insmod is failing with following error.

insmod: error inserting 'page_walk.ko': Invalid module format.

I verified the modinfo of "page_walk.ko" it is showing version magic as : 4.0.5_rc7+ SMP mod_unload modversions 686

what does "mod_unload" mean here?

Thanks,

Madhu
