Eugene, I have not seen any answers to your question, which may mean that no one knows.
Your command is unusual:- > /sbin/insmod -k -s /lib/modules/2.0.30/misc/lp.o lp "insmod -k -s lp" would be the usual way of loading lp. The actual device could be /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1 so be prepared to try both and adjust /etc/printcap if necessary. Run depmod -a and try insmod again. If the present behaviour persists I can only suggest that you run strace on it. strace insmod -k -s lp Lindsay =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lindsay Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Perth, Western Australia voice +61 8 9316 2486 modem +61 8 9364-9832 32S, 116E =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= On Tue, 9 Sep 1997, Eugene Sevinian wrote: > > I noticed that insmod spends a lot of CPU time. > There were no such things before .
