Hi, I got an Oops msg while running my driver, does this lead to the userland process thats using this module to crash, always ? The Oops is generated by a module function thats not running as a system call. And if does cause the userland process to crash, does the proces generate a SIGCHLD ? regards Amit ***************** HSS-Private ************* "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Hughes Software Systems Limited (HSS) and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
