Hi,

I do not know whether this is a right group to ask this question, but i'm
giving it a try.
Here is what I have,
I have a loadable module (linux.2.4.20) which contains a 2 mb static gloabal
array.
When I load it from linux booted via U-Boot system crashes.
Everything works ok if I do the same thing with the same linux booted with
RedBoot.
Before loading the module I check the current meminfo and get the same
result both times.

Some glue or something where and what to look?

Thanks!
Ara

Additional information:
The same error occurs if I just run depmod -a.
