I wasn't so worry about the driver because the same driver worked with a different application without seeing these kind of messages or oopses. Dan, from your answer i understand that the swap code discovers a corruption in tables but why is swap code run when swap wasn't activated? I will try to have a look on the driver code.

Those messages are likely due to a bug with swapping to disk that has been in some 2.4 kernels, but I don't believe that is the case here, since you don't have a disk or swapping enabled. -- Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
