Actually, your kernel is 2.6.13-15 which is way BELOW mine (which is at
2.6.15.4), so 2.4.32 should compile and run just fine.  It does here!

If there is a problem=B8 it may be that your kernel is actually
relatively old and I got the version at which kernel APIs changed wrong
in one of the ifdefs in the code.  So, yes, show the compile log - any
funnies will show up there.

Here's a typical compile line for me ...

  % gcc
  -I/home/oboe/ptb/lang/c/nbd/enbd-2.4.32/kernel/linux-2.6.x/include
  -Wp,-MD,/tmp/linux-2.6.x/drivers/block/enbd/.enbd_base.o.d -nostdinc
  -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude  -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude
  -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing
  -fno-common -pipe -msoft-float   -march=3Di686
  -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer    -DMODULE
  -I"/home/oboe/ptb/lang/c/nbd/enbd-2.4.32/kernel/linux-2.6.x/include"
  -DKBUILD_BASENAME=3Denbd_base -DKBUILD_MODNAME=3Denbd -c -o
  /tmp/linux-2.6.x/drivers/block/enbd/enbd_base.o
  /tmp/linux-2.6.x/drivers/block/enbd/enbd_base.c
  /tmp/linux-2.6.x/drivers/block/enbd/enbd_base.c:4467: warning:
  `enbd_read_block_0' defined but not used
  %

(kernel source 2.6.15.4).

And here's a seamless insmod:

  % sudo insmod /tmp/enbd.ko=20
  %=20

(hic)

Make sure your compile log is as clean as the one above (only one
warning, for an unused fn).
