Hello,
I have written a linux kernel module. The linux version is 2.2.14. 
In this module I have declared an array of size 2048. If I use this array, the execution of this module function causes kernel to reboot. If I kmalloc() this array then execution of this module function doesnot cause any problem.
Can you explain this behaviour?
Thnaks,
Dinesh
