2.6.1 : Kernel oops with rmmod

[Niraj Kumar]

Hi ,
I am getting kernel oops after rmmod .  I was doing some changes in ufs 
filesystem
(basically , trying to add support for ufs2) and then loaded/unloaded 
the ufs module.
Loading was fine. But rmmod crashed with "Segmentation fault" .

[root@indl195ec kernel]# rmmod -v ufs
rmmod ufs, wait=no
Segmentation fault

[niraj@indl195ec niraj]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.1 (root@indl195ec) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red 
Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)) #2 Wed Jan 21 14:14:02 IST 2004


I am using the module-init-tools-3.0-pre7 .
The oops message is shown below (taken from dmesg):

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
printing eip:
