newbie question.

Just trying to do the most basic module, printing "hello"

when I do /sbin/insmod ./hello.o,  I get

./hello.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20
       while this kernel is version 2.4.20-8.

When I do /sbin/insmod -f ./hello.o I get

Warning: kernel-module version mismatch
       ./hello.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20
       while this kernel is version 2.4.20-8
Warning: loading ./hello.o will taint the kernel: no license
 See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted 
modules
Warning: loading ./hello.o will taint the kernel: forced load
Module hello loaded, with warnings


I don't understand why and what I can do about it.
