Hi,
Can any one update me about, what make module and make
module_install do? What is the difference between the
insmod command and module_install?
Thanks in advance....
Thanks,
siva.s

insmod first looks in /lib/modules/`uname -a`/* to load the module into
kernel space.
[certain details may be incorrect, but that the general idea.]

That's a FAQ!
make modules compiles the modules
make modules_install copies the modules to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)

The two things are completely different.
insmod/modprobe is a tool for loading modules dynamically into a running
kernel and modules_install is a makefile-target, user for copying the
precompiled modules to a certain destination.
Please don't post such questions in here, check for a local linux
newsgroup or discussionforum.
regards, alexx
