Please reply only to the list; I check it often. This would also allow everyone to have a better idea about your problem and help you get the correct answers much quicker. I am not sure if this error could _also_ be caused by the wrong kmalloc flag. Maybe someone more experienced in linux-mm could answer that. My take is that your code is probably having some issues with the copy_from_user() or copy_to_user() functions (if you use it) . Somewhere, the stack is being corrupted leading to a bad EIP. It could also be that you are sleeping during an interrupt context which results in "Aiee..". With your _generalized_ problem, this is just as general an answer I could give. ./h -- Operating Systems and Computer Architecture Research - University of Cincinnati http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~mohapth -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
