module_param does not work in Ubuntu 13.10 - Kernel 3.10.0-4
Hi all, I use the kernel version "3.10.0-4" that came with Ubuntu distribution. When I compile the example module I got from LKMPG (hello-5.c) and try to load the driver by passing the module with the following command, it gives the following error: # insmod parameter.ko mystring="bebop" Error: could not insert module parameter.ko: Unknown symbol in module Error in dmesg: [ 3687.132110] parameter: Unknown parameter `mystring' However, if I insert the module without any parameters, it gets inserted just fine. # insmod parameter.ko I am attaching the source code for reference. Kindly let me know what could be done.

I have kernel 3.11.0-rc7 and it seems to be working fine. Are you sure the file attached is the correct one or there is no typo? See the output which I got compiling your file and loading it as a module in the attachment. Thanks, Sanmukh On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 9:52 PM, <binoy.jayan@wipro.com> wrote:

HI Sanmukh, Thank you for testing the code. Yes I am using the same file and there is no typo. When I insert the module it inserts just fine. In this case mystring takes the default value "blah" as seen in log below. dmesg: [ 7907.858933] Demonstrating module parameters [ 7907.858937] =============================== [ 7907.858939] myshort is a short integer: 1 [ 7907.858941] myint is an integer: 420 [ 7907.858943] mylong is a long integer: 9999 [ 7907.858945] mystring is a string: blah [ 7907.858947] myintArray[0] = -1 [ 7907.858948] myintArray[1] = -1 [ 7907.858950] got 0 arguments for myintArray. I am wondering if there is an issue with the kernel version or the insmod utility. Could you tell me what version of operating system and insmod you are using? I am using a development branch of Ubuntu. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

I am out of ideas.

I have also tested, build KO file using your C file, on my kernel and it is working fine. The kernel version is 3.2.11 Why don't you try any other kernel version and see whether you are getting same error or not? I guess, it works.

Hi Srinivas, Thank you for the inputs. The modules works fine with the kernels that come with Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, 12.04 and 12.10. But, we are supporting a product for every latest Ubuntu versions. So, I need to make it work with the kernel which comes with the distro alone. So I cannot use a custom kernel from kernel.org.
