Rusty rewrote the module loader in 2.6, the kdb rmmod command was disabled during that rewrite. The new rmmod tries to stop the system and wait for the refcount to go to zero. That is not going to work with kdb, because kdb has already stopped the system. Trying to rmmod from kdb is almost guaranteed to deadlock. So I never added kdb rmmod back for 2.6. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
