OK, I've just tried repeating this experiment on 2.2.18 (no devfs) and it oopsed this time, so there's obviously something else going on here. $ ksymoops -m /boot/System.map-2.2.18 < oops2.txt ksymoops 2.3.4 on i586 2.2.18. Options used -V (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l

Devfs might explain the 2.4.0-test12 oopses, but it can't possibly explain the oops with 2.2.18. I don't use devfs with 2.2.18. Chris > Looks like a devfs problem; complain to the appropriate people. I refuse > to touch that particular devfs code. > > > I have just compiled Linux 2.2.18

Hi, I have just compiled Linux 2.2.18 (UP) and Linux 2.4.0-test12 (SMP, devfs), and in each case I compiled the msr and cpuid drivers as modules. However, when I tried to read from the devices (using "cat"), I got oopses from both 2.2.18 and 2.4.0-test12. Neither the msr.o nor the cpuid.o modules
