Hello Marcelo, hello world,

I'm having massive problems with Linux 2.4.20 and modul loading. In fact,
it seems to have something to do with devfs. Everytime i try to load a
module which is supposed to create something new in /dev, i get an Oops.
I noticed that behaviour with vmware-module and now also with ALSA 
0.9.0rc6. Is there a fix available for this yet?

Call trace (ksymoops):
