Wait, that's the issue right there. Don't do that. devices should be created by busses or the platform core, which owns the release function for them. Individual drivers should not create devices. Hm, but then, how would you ever unload a bus, as the same issue might be there too... Any specific code in the kernel you can point to that has this issue today? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
