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:

Dec 29 13:52:31 10 kernel: IN ppp_generic.c(ppp_write()):called function ppp_write () 0  times!
