Hi, I'm writing a new kernel module which can not be run with another module. If both run then bad things will happen and the kernel will fall over. Fixing the modules so they can be run together is not a option, so I wanted to code something in this new module which would A) Check if the other module is already running and thus refuse to start. and B) Stop the other module from loading in the future. So is there a way to do this? thanks Andrew
