Massive problems with 2.4.20 module loading

Hello Marcelo, hello world,

I'm having massive problems with Linux 2.4.20 and modul loading. In fact,
it seems to have something to do with devfs. Everytime i try to load a
module which is supposed to create something new in /dev, i get an Oops.
I noticed that behaviour with vmware-module and now also with ALSA
0.9.0rc6. Is there a fix available for this yet?

Call trace (ksymoops):
