There should not be an OOPS, we don't map any section of the kernel as read-only or execute-only or anything like that. The kernel image is mapped with full read/write/execute permission. So even writes to so-called 'read-only' sections of the kernel image will work and therefore I don't understand what the bug could be other than the compiler "optimizing" away the write to the constant string in which case the compiler should have warned about it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
