Interesting - which module/product is that ? > > I am facing many kernel panics happening at different places. Not surprised. "Filesystem filter drivers" in Solaris are not supported. Rather, there is no framework to create such drivers, and hence writing one necessarily gets you into "hairy areas", where you have to use on undocumented interfaces, and encounter breakage as kernel changes happen. > > Some times things work fine without panics.

Well, please first be more specific as to how these panics look like. Even better would be if you could share the module, its sourcecode and instructions how to set it up / use it so that we can reproduce and help.
