Hi!
I wrote a little kernel module (a "virtual char-device") and wanted to
create a sysfs entry for my device under /sys/devices. When using
"device_register" and "device_create_file", I get the following kernel
BUG message (and the module stops loading): (Kernel is 2.6.24.4)

I also have another question according to module loading/unloading:
I've set the kernel option 'CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD', but after above
mentioned bug, the module stopped loading and it's use count (according
to lsmod) is 1 and I cannot unload it (and I thought "forced unloading"
does just that) - are there other any "tricks" how I can unload such a
"stuck in loading" module?
