[rtl] RT-FIFOs in modules

[Kristiina Valtanen]

My problem: I have written a program which dynamically loads RT-modules simply using request_module -function. This loading works just fine, if the RT-module does not include RT-fifos. Anyhow, when I insert RT-fifo to a module (rtf_create and so on) and run my "loading program" (with request_module -function) I always get an answer "RT_FIFO: Unable to get major 63". If I insert this particular module with RT-fifo manually, using insmod, RT-fifo initialization succeeds and everything is OK.
So, my problem is: Why do RT-fifos work only when I insert my RT-module manually, using insmod? What is the matter with request_module, shouldn't it be almost the same as insmod?
I am very grateful for the answer because I just can't understand this by myself. Best regards,
