Don't tell me to > reboot it.^_^Thank you for help! > i guess there is a way out , but dont know the side effects ;-), but worked for me without any probs. i wrote a module , insmod'ed it , it had simple code to go thru the module list, and decrement the module's count (whichever module u wanted to remove) to 0, then i could rmmod it ,i.e assuming that the module isnt rmmod'able because its MODULE_COUNT wasnt zero.Hope iam answering the right question.Please, feel free to correct me,if iam wrong. cheers, Amith PS: Kernel ver : 2.4-18. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
