Hi,

I am trying to write a kernel module which reads the files in the /proc
directory.

When I do an insmod filename.o, I get the following error:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address....

In the module, I use kmalloc to allocate memory. Is that the reason I am
getting this error?

I am very new to writing kernel modules, I would really appreciate a reply.

Thanks,
Femitha Majeed
