All about the level of post this post is made with the purpose to give knowledge to newbies and all who are in this field. I will add the entries on how to write the kernel soon enough so need not to worry about that. wait for my next post. c ya well here i want to tell you two things….

I will add the entries on how to write the kernel soon enough so need not to worry about that.

You need to change the topic and the relevant text. b) You have not talked about how to actually compile the kernel module, I am assuming that you were going to talk in the later posts on how to compile the module itself ? c) The paragraph which stated that "The Linux kernel versions are divided between the stable versions (n..m) and the development versions (n..m)." is no longer applicable. Check the links http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Kernel_Release_Numbering_Redux and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning#Odd-numbered_versions_for_development_releases d) I have always found the book "Linux Device Drivers" available for download at http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ to be a very useful resource.
