Hi, The kernel doesn't hang, but my module enters a state which I as a newbie could not handle it. So I posed the problem to the group asking if I could do something with it. Normal commands like rmmod were not in a position to unload the module. Your suggestion of compiling the kernel with gdb was a very good insider in this direction.
