Load Kernel Module

This document provides instructions to create a simple "Hello World" kernel module in Linux: 1. It first installs the kernel headers for the running kernel version and changes to that directory. 2. It then provides C code for a simple module that prints a message on initialization and exit. 3. A Makefile is created to build and clean the module. 4. The module is then built, installed into the running kernel, and the dmesg output is checked to verify the messages were printed.
