2.6.8 is an old kernel, you could very well be hitting a kernel bug
that has been fixed already. Can you reproduce this with 2.6.16?
I will try that soon.
Also,
you're not including sources to your module so it's impossible to tell
whether you're doing something wrong.

Below is my baby module which only uses kmalloc and kfree for my device
structure. I found the slab corruption address is the address of the structure.
It seems to be a bug for kmalloc and kfree.
/* The parameter for testing */
int major=0;
MODULE_PARM(major, "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(major, "device major number");
Hi,
I had no problem loading and unloading your module on
2.6.17-rc1 [after changing MODULE_PARM() to
module_param(major, int, 0644);
].
