[Linux-streams] Re: problem while loading streams.ko

[Paul Landay]

I don't recall ever seeing a hang during insmod,
so I do not know what the problem might be.

On 2.6 kernel systems, like RHEL4,
I use 'modprobe' instead of 'insmod'.
cd /usr/src/LiS-2.18
make
make install
modprobe streams

The dmesg text below says 2.18.1, but some
of your posts said you were using 2.18.0 from
ftp.gcom.com. I still use the:
ftp://ftp.gcom.com/pub/linux/src/LiS/LiS-2.18.0.tgz
plus the changes I sent on RHEL4.
I have not used 2.18.1.

I notice in the dmesg output that you have SELinux enabled.
Did you look at the mailing list archives for other posts
about SELinux:
