Remove the driver first befor reboot! It works. But what is relation between the reboot process and my driver? When I remove the driver module myself, nothing goes wrong. What is the difference?
Thank you.
Joining in the lkml is so exciting. :)

INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6
INIT: Send processes the TERM signalUnable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereferenceWhat's wrong with my machines? They are all running linux-2.2.18(SMP-supported) with a kernel module which is a driver of Myricom NIC M3S-PCI64C-2 written by my group. Thank you in advance 8-)
If you boot the machije without your driver, then reboot does the same happen ? If not then it may well be your driver has an error but only when it closes down

Does your module have a timer or thread which may be active at shutdown? It may be that if it has a kernel thread that the TERM will kill the thread and your driver does not expect this.
