It should contain a "module" structure from what i understood in the kernel sources but i can't quite figure out how can there be a difference of 1064 dwords between the storage location for the init subroutine and the storage location for the cleanup routine. The "module" structure itself is 96 bytes on my machine. I have a Pentium4 processor and linux kernel 2.6.0-test3. How is this possible ?
