Hi guys!!!
This is my first mail to ts list and i'm eagerly awaiting a reply. I was goin thru the printk source and found out that pritk was calling the write method of struct console 's present on a list pointed to by console_drivers. So I thot of adding my own console driver like this.... #define MODULE #define __KERNEL__ #include<linux/module.h> #include<linux/kernel.h> #include<linux/console.h> #include<linux/sched.h> void my_write(struct console *co,const char *buf,unsigned count) { struct tty_struct *my_tty; my_tty = current->tty; if(my_tty != NULL) { ((my_tty->driver).write)(my_tty,0,buf,strlen(buf)); } } struct console my_console = { name:"MYCON", write:my_write, flags:CON_ENABLED, index:-1, }; int init_module() { register_console(&my_console); return 0; } void cleanup_module() { } When I insmoded the module (in run level 3) it worked fine. While it was still inserted i typed 'startx' and when i pressed 'Enter' ,the machine instantly rebooted!!! I tried this again and it happened. With MYCON registered ,if I issue the startx command ,the machine reboots. Also if MYCON is registered and I shutdown using 'init 0' again the reboot happens.Can anyone explain?? bye Bijoy Jacob Thomas
