Help building module for 2.6.0

Help building module for 2.6.0

[Tim Kelsey]

ok im trying to build a kernel module (my first :) ) when i build it on a 2.4 box everything is fine when i build it on my laptop running 2.6.0-t10 it builds fine but when i try and insmod it i get 

sh$ insmod ./hgn.o 
insmod: error inserting './hgn.o': -1 Invalid module format

I have attached my Makefile. Please could some one tell me if this is due to the way i compile the module (my guess) or if it is likly caused by my code. Any pointers would be welcome.

Thnx for any help

p.s. I know this is kind of like walking into a filharmonic auchestra with a waveing a tin drum :P so if there is a more apropriate place to post this kind of question pls let me know.
