Sorry about the last mail. insmod dumps core because I did not recompile
my driver after adding the patch.
I am sorry to say that your patch did not help much at all. The ksymoops
o/p of 'insmod driver.o' is exactly the same as before.
ksymoops 0.7c on i586 2.2.10. Options used
-v /usr/src/linux/vmlinux (specified)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /home/rajukv/pqs/driver (specified)
-m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)
No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
Warning (read_lsmod): no symbols in lsmod, is /proc/modules a valid
lsmod file?

And this goes on as before.
Also, please note that this module is not loaded during initialization.
I am manually trying to load it using insmod.
