That way just doesn't work. Use kbuild instead of brewing your own
Makefiles. See http://lwn.net/Articles/21823/ .

Not necessary, IIRC.

OK...

... so why don't you use KERN_ALERT instead of <1>?

Make that printk(KERN_ALERT "Hello, world!\n");

You want something like:

ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
obj-m := hello.o
else
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)

default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
endif
