hai all,
I want to call a user program(script) from linux kernel.
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.



Thanks&Regards,

P.Manohar.
