Hi,
We are developping a module for a custom built card. The module
installs fine on some computers and not on others. All computers are
running 2.4.18 or 2.4.20 kernel. Here is a dump of installing the module
and linux crashing. The module is tainting the kernel (I plan on GPLing
the module and if you want code for it, I can send it to you, I just don't
know how to flag it as GPLed).

The last thing done by the module initialization code is print

If anybody has suggestions on what is going on or how to debug, please
send to me.
