I am using Redhat linux 9( kernel version 2.4.20-8). With the help of call_usermodehelper I am calling the user level program from one of the kernel driver. I am setting the parameters correctly. int call_usermodehelper(char *path, char *argv, char *envp); The system is hanging after giving a call trace and the error Code: <0> Kernel Panic : Aiee,Killing interrupt handler In interrupt handler- not syncing. Any help is welcome.
