linux 2.4.25: loading usbcore.o gives segmentation fault

Hello,

I am using linux 2.4.25 for a custom MPC875 based board. When adding general usb support as module (-> usbcore.o), loading usbcore.o gives a segmentation fault., while compiling it builtin seems to work. How can i find out what could be the reasons for that ?

thanks in advance, best regards
Josef
