What is the exact error message? insmod should never return ERESTARTSYS unless some driver is doing something really odd/broken. What driver are you trying to load that does this? > Does insmod disables it explicitly? If so, how to get a similar > "restart-behaviour"? It doesn't disable it, it's just that nothing on that syscall path should be returning that value, as it doesn't make sense. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
