help me for: Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11

[T Michael Turney]

If you are using MVL2.1 why do you have to port ppp_generic.c?
I have used the PPP support already built-in to this kernel without
problem, even ported wvdial/wvstreams to it.
Cheers,
T.mike

  Dear,

      Here is my problems,

       Our environmet is:
      OS: hardhat Linux 2.1
      platform: ppc lopec 7410
      uname -r : 2.4.17_mvl21-lopec
     
     When we port the ppp_generic.c(Which is a kernel module), and the program can be executed on host(redhat 7.2). Howerver, when we complied it and runned on ppc lopec7410 (target) by the cross-developemnt enviornment, which can result in the machine down, and when wei return in the beginning of ppp_xmit_process(), the machine is not down but the following massages is printed in the /var/log/massages:
