This should be possible, of course. I just noticed that dvb_frontend_start() is called twice. Sometimes I see one zombie and one normal fe process, sometimes I see two normal fe processes. Sometimes that kernel oops happens, sometimes not. If you add some printk the oops disappears. :-) Looks like a kind of synchronisation problem.
