Subject: Oops while unloading module
Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2003 13:26:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3FE43FD9.3010509@free.fr> (raw)
I first apologize for my approximative english.
I will soon get a Logitech Quickcam pro 4000, so I compiled my kernel
with the PWC driver for Philips webcams (built-in). In addition, I tried
to load the external (and closed-source) pwcx module (without the webcam
plugged-in, of course). When I wanted to unload it with rmmod, it ended
with "Segmentation fault" and I got the following Oops :

Then, I wanted to see if the module was here again and typed "lsmod",
and it hanged. At this state, I can't load any other module because
modprobe hangs too. My kernel is compiled with both "module unloading"
and "forced module unloading."
If needed, may you tell me how I could provide further informations ?
Thanks :-) And great job for 2.6 anyway ;-)
