Is this related to >the modutils incompatability (modutils 2.3.19) ? I don't think so. I cannot reproduce this oops on 2.4.0-test11 with modutils 2.3.21, ppp 2.4.0. modutils 2.3.19 should be compatible with kernel 2.4.0-test11, the incompatibility is between modutils <= 2.3.15 and kernel 2.4.0-test11. It was difficult to find the right area of code, my compile with egcs-2.91.66 and -march=i686 gives quite different Assembler, so take this analysis with a pinch of salt. Is there any chance that you are using the wrong compiler and/or compiler options? The oops looks to be on line 102 of kmod.c for (i = 0; i < current->files->max_fds; i++ ) { current->files is NULL. That has nothing to do with modutils, rather it points to an invalid or incomplete current context. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
