hello,

First I would like to say Thanks for this article, it was very helpful!!
but unfortunately I am still facing some problems.

I am running Suse-9.1 Linux kernel and I want to write a loadable module.
I tried the helloworld program and it is working just fine, but then i
started with a simple character device driver program which is given as
example in Linux Module programming guide-2.6. but when i run the make
for this the whole make is running without error(there are a few
warnings) but the chardev.ko or chardev.o is not formed. i have no idea
why???.....any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks a dozen
meenaxi.
