IIRC, I got the same error when I ran lguest out of a pretty old mm kernel (2.6.24 rc5-mm/rc4-mm). I imagined it to be a usual problem with the mm kernels itself and didnt bother report it. I also remember seeing a message in dmesg which told me to pass a large enough number to vmalloc=XXX kernel parameter for the module load to succeed. I don't remember the exact details, but I thought i should report whatever i remember.. -- regards, balaji rao National Institute of Technology, Karnataka _______________________________________________ Lguest mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/lguest
