SubjectCrash when loading a module (without executing any code of the module!)
Hi,
currently I'm developping a small kernel module for a hardware (which was developped by a friend of mine), which is
supposed to load a firmware onto a PCI-card.

The development is done together with the friend, who's developping the firmware.
We tried the following:
He compiled a kernel-independent object (containing the firmware) on his system using kbuild
(Dual-AthlonMP, SuSE 8.2 with kernel.org-kernel 2.6.3, module-init-tools 0.9.14-pre2, gcc 3.3.1,
ld 2.14.90.0.5 20030722).
Afterwards I tried to link it to my kernel-module (using the same kbuild makefile with
firmware.o_shipped) on my machine (Fedora2, 2.6.5-3.1smp, module-init-tools 3.0-pre10, gcc 3.3.3, ld 2.15.90.0.3
20040415).

This is what happened:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 82d90700

What puzzles me, is that I don't see any of my code in the calltrace. I had a look into the
kernel-code and it seems to crash, before it even jumps into my code. What am I missing?
By the way, everything works fine, if I compile the entire module on my machine.
Some more testing showed, that we do also expierence a crash, if we do everything vice-versa.

Regards,
Michael
