problem while loading streams.ko

[kishore]

hi Landey,

First let me say thanks for ur response. I did all the
modifications, what u said in mail.
Now, am safe during compilation without any warnings ( some warnings
as method was deprecated, but i ignored).
I got streams.ko in the default folder
(/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/.)

I tried to load streams.ko using insmod,
insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/streams.ko then the system
hung.

I restarted the system and observed dmesg, it is as follows :

Then i observed /proc/modules; i found that streams and its
related modules streams-timod, streams-mtdrv are loaded.

let me know why the system hung, when i tried to load
streams.ko?
Thanks in advance for ur advice on this issue.

I don't recall ever seeing a hang during insmod,
so I do not know what the problem might be.

On 2.6 kernel systems, like RHEL4,
I use 'modprobe' instead of 'insmod'.
cd /usr/src/LiS-2.18
make
make install
modprobe streams

The dmesg text below says 2.18.1, but some
of your posts said you were using 2.18.0 from
ftp.gcom.com. I still use the:
ftp://ftp.gcom.com/pub/linux/src/LiS/LiS-2.18.0.tgz
plus the changes I sent on RHEL4.
I have not used 2.18.1.

I notice in the dmesg output that you have SELinux enabled.
Did you look at the mailing list archives for other posts
about SELinux:

I did all the modifications, what u said in mail.
Now, am safe during compilation without any warnings
( some warnings as method was deprecated, but i ignored).

(/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/.)

kishore,

You have install 2.18.0 without uninstalling 2.18.1. Do 'sudo make uninstall'
in the LiS-2.18.1 directory, then rebuild and reinstall 2.18.0.
