It didn’t show me anything like that. It worked well. Here is what I have - note that I changed couple of things in printk statement but that shouldn’t affect your errors:

__________________________________________________
Program - lx.c

#include <linux/module.h>               // for printk()
#include <linux/mm.h>             // for struct page
#include <asm/page.h>             // for struct page
#include <asm/pgtable.h>                // for ZERO_PAGE

static int __init init_hello( void )
{
        int i;
        struct page * zero_page;
        printk(KERN_ALERT "\n   Kello, the first! \n\n" );
        i = 0x100;
        zero_page = ZERO_PAGE(&i);
        printk(KERN_ALERT " the ZERO address is %p", zero_page);
        return  0;
}

static void __exit exit_hello( void )
{
        printk(KERN_ALERT "\n   Goodbye now... \n\n" );
}

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
module_init(init_hello);
module_exit(exit_hello);

Makefile

obj-m :=lx.o


KDIR= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

all:
	$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules

clean:
	rm -rf $(wildcard *.o *.ko mo* Mo* *.mod.c)

____________________________________________________

Running make gives me(I’m in a Virtual Machine so the page addresses may be messed up):

Hope this helps! Don’t forget to ‘reply all’ so that others in the mailing list could also see your/my problem/solution.
